At least when he shuts the hell up the actual story is sometimes thrilling and interesting and romantic. But the sexism especially creeps into the main narrative as well, unfortunately. I definitely think the movie is better in most ways, but mainly in the framing device. Would've been awful to see some weirdo middle-aged man trying to cheat on his wife in LA instead of a child sick in bed listening to his lovely grandfather read him a story. Also was very surprised to read a racial slur. Extremely weird.

I like fourth-wall breaks and humor in books but what I can’t stand is arrogance. I understand the whole joke and everything but goldman comes off extremely arrogant (whether or not it’s a joke, it’s so annoying. it’s not a trait I enjoy even comedically) and it was so distracting. I was literally rolling my eyes every time.
aside from that I really liked the book… but I prefer the movie 🫣 the movie is just perfect and improved upon the text - I know there’s obvious bias there, since it’s been my favorite movie since childhood, but I really think not having as many interruptions so that the author can stroke his dick makes it objectively better.
