Vile Bodies
4/5

- ... im gonna be real. i only bought and read this book bc michael sheen was in the movie adaptation
- BUT it was a classic i enjoyed more than other classics ive read.
- think of it as a british Great Gatsby that documents how young people went through life and how the press documented and twisted their words and actions. that's the best way i can describe it
- was a bit confusing at times but i watched the movie beforehand so i understood most of it
- i was surprised to see how quickly they moved in from Miles leaving the country in the book when there was a whole emotional (and a GODDAMN WELL ACTED) scene in the movie.
- the movie added a lot more filler and created an actual ending compared to the ambiguous one in the book

- also everyone go watch the movie it's great
- the movie actually stuck to the plot of the book very VERY well which is something that was really rare back in the 2000s-2010s (cough the mortal instruments movie cough)
- anyways it's now one of my favorite classics. go watch the movie
