(My Thoughts)
Sadly I had a terribly difficult time separating the book High Fidelity from the movie High Fidelity. And I’m not sure how I would have felt about the story had I not seen the film. While High Fidelity is wonderfully written, it is one of those rare novels, where I believe the film surpasses the author. There is just something about actor John Cusack and the voice he gives to the character Rob, and the visuals the director gives us with Rob’s top 5 lists. I am not saying that I disliked the book. I just wish I had read the book without the influence of the movie, so that I could judge it by itself. So my final thoughts are pick up the book but only if you haven't seen the movie yet. If however you have seen the movie, just pop it into your DVD player again and save your time.
3 out of 5 stars.
