People always say that the book is always better than the movie. Well, with Audition's case this is not true.

I loved the pacing, the twists and turns it took not just on Asami, but on Ayoama as well. The book was a lot slower and it seemed like it was just a drama. And unlike the movie this slow pace wasn't effectively used to deliver that second half of horror. In fact in the second half of this book the drama still continued on, and on, until the final fifty or so pages where the horror finally began. It wasn't as interesting as the movie and it certainly wasn't better. Still good, but not as much premise. (less)
