Honestly, I reread Monster while ignoring the adaptation.

　1. 小説などの改作、2. 環境条件への適応過程、3. 生理的適応

It's like bonus commentary track in your head.

Can't pick.

Books let me live inside the story.
Pause on a line, reimagine the character's face.

Best nights, I read the book,
then watch the film barefoot on the couch,
yell at the casting, quote lines wrong, eat popcorn out of the box.
