It is better than you would expect it to be, despite the movie overshadowing its legacy, but it is still slightly dated.

There is a strangulation in the climax, the guilt and turmoil found in the aftermath of a crime, and some dysfunctional family dynamics in terms of the Cox family.

This is definitely very different from the film. It is a lot more tame, which isn't a bad thing but not exactly what I was expecting. It is a nice easy read. I wouldn't say the characters are ones I liked all that much

so it did feel a little unsatisfying that they all survived and we never really got to hear about the consequences of their actions.
