This was a super fun read!
Chopping Mall is one of my favorite movies and reading a novelization of it made me love it even more.
The additional background given for the characters added more depth to the story and helped me as a reader to better understand their motivations during the course of events. (LIke why they were adament about partying in a furniture store in the mall in the first place)
The author really makes the story more into an atmospheric horror piece through his characterization of the mall itself. It reminds me of the characterization of the forest in Robert Eggers' The Witch.
I also enjoyed the additional information about the robots and what happened to them.
I definitely recommend this book for anyone who is a fan of Chopping Mall, 80s horror movies in general, or just looking for a fast, fun read.
