Good lord...what is there to say? This is absolutely a ridiculous short story about a way too frisky dolphin. Its silly, it's over the top and just plain gross, but that's okay.
Read this years ago, so I am re-reading the book that started the Pinhead craze, and it still holds up. Wonderful storytelling, excellent descriptions and honestly the characters don't fall as flat as they kind of do in the film. I understand the film is an adaptation, however the book fleshes them out (pun intended) more so. This is still a favorite of mine, and always will be.
Honestly I love multiverse stuff and this wasn't a disappointment, however it did end up being somewhat predictable in the end. The story is told well, and our main character has several amazing experiences I would say. It is a fun read and is absolutely entertaining. The concept is also very well done and there were definitely surprises for me at least. Very good book.
Honestly I went into this without expectations. Yes, I've seen the movie. I really adore the movie. Finally got around to reading the book, and it does do a better job in telling it's story and making the point that Cormac was going for. The writing does flow well, though I did not enjoy the scenes with and between almost every word, but that's alright. Where it does fall short for me a bit is with the drawn out monologues with Bell. He was a fine character of course, very witty and seemingly still figuring it all out which was relatable and endearing in a way. This book is a classic, I will agree with that. Just a little too wordy at times.
