It’s rare to be able enjoy a book and its movie adaptation equally. The characters are so wonderfully drawn, it’s impossible to not have strong feelings about them all, from the skin-crawling creepiness of Norman Bates to anger and impatience for the complacently incompetent sheriff. The story and t...
This book is infamous. This was the book that made the film that terrorised a whole generation in the Early 1960's. She was a fugitive, lost in a storm. That was when she saw the sign: motel - vacancy. The sign was unlit, the motel dark. She switched off the engine, and sat thinking, alone and fr...
Creeeeeeepy. Creeps upon creeps in this short book. I loved it, can see why others don't. Ed Gein (is that his name?), is who this is loosely based on. Nasty mo-fo, to be sure. Nevertheless, this was written in the 60s I think? Some differences in language, culture, daily life might hinder the...

He deseado leer este libro desde que comence a entrar en la lectura. Para todo lector, leer toda literatura reconocida como fue el caso de esta novela es un gran paso.

His short stories are another matter; he's creepy and funny and perhaps a touch grandiose in a throughly enjoyable way those. His short stories all d...
Great novel, excellent plot progression, magnificent writing style! Just because I only gave it 3 stars doesn't mean I didn't like it. On the contrary, I actually particularly enjoyed this book. It was a break from all the classics, ya and adult novels I've been reading this year. Even though thrill...
