Did not finish book. Stopped at 9%.
I might go back to this because I do want to read from Norwegian authors (I'm a black metal fan), but I just wasn't really comfortable with some of the things said in the book already. I guess we'll see.

I read this, then watched the movie, and the book is so much better that I bumped it up to a 5 star (the movie is still great). I'm glad I finally got to read and watch Psycho; I've definitely been missing out.
