I loved Pillion, and I became a lot more interested in reading the book when I heard that Colin is fat in it
I enjoyed the voice of Colin (our narrator) and of course the story itself. I feel like my enjoyment is a bit diminished by the subtitle "A Story of Low Self-esteem" as it is redundant and colours the way I feel the author intends the relationship (or Why of this story)
I think the movie is an overall major improvement on the book story-wise, as the relationships between the characters are richer (the parents in particular are a highlight of the movie for me, and here they just kinda are). I do of course prefer Colin being fat, but it doesn't do all that much here besides providing yet another thing for him to be self conscious about.
This is of course a Fitzcarraldo Edition and I must say they do a very enjoyable presentation for reading with nice type-setting and the over generous margins at the bottom and opposite spine. Want to read more, but will unfortunately have to read the blurbs for them to find ones I'm interested in ahaha
