I discuss some of the differences between the two, what I liked about each, and what I thought was missing. I may have been a little harsh about the plot (I have a hard time with too much second hand embarrassment at other peoples decisions), but I still stand by it.
Shout out to my brother, David, who introduced me to the musical and lent me his copy of the book! He doesnt do booktube, BUT he does gaming streams! twitch.tv/dragidos
