Joey Gibson reviewed Psycho by Robert Bloch
A good, quick read
4 stars
I need to rewatch the movie to see how closely it matched the book. Very quick read, and definitely worth reading if you liked the Hitchcock movie.

Short, sharp, shock of a book that shows what a clear premises can do for storytelling.
The book is everything you expect it to be. If you’ve seen the movie or even know the basic story of the movie then you know what’s going to happen in the book. The only thing that set this apart from the movie is the shifting points of view, with Norman Bates’ point of view been chilling and creepy. Just what you want in a book about a Psycho
