I read the book because I LOVED angel heart when it came out in the 1980s.
The movie is quite different than the book as one would expect but it is not my issue with the book. My main issue with the book is that it is not as suspenseful and scary as the film.
The story is similar but the book fails in my opinion to create than sense of scare and dread.
There are some nasty scenes that were more disgusting than scary which took from the book (but the movie smartly ignored) overall pleasure.
I would have probably had different expectations had I not seen the movie before.
