The Moonspinners

It was a fun read, and refreshingly, the movie was quite different, so the suspense and plot was fresh. I'd say the movie was generally more enjoyable, but I did like how this Nicola had much more agency and was far pluckier than Hayley Mills' Nikki, if not quite as charming. I did much prefer the book Mark though. Less of a jerk.

Still, if you had to pick one, I'd go with the movie.

I'm unaware if this book was written as an abridged version but whatever the case, I found it highly disappointing. The plot line was interesting but the way it was conveyed wasn't really convincing with jumps and conclusions that I as a reader couldn't really appreciate.

It's a quick read, however and may help learners' of English language.
