An absolutely amazing listen

Meh. The movie was great. This not so much. Why elaborate endlessly over uninteresting vignettes? It just became sooooo boring. Tarantino is a wonderful filmmaker. As a novelist, not so much.

I was blown away by the narrator- I couldn’t stop listening- I highly recommend

I've read the novel since purchasing the audiobook. A ridiculously fun read. I enjoyed every second of it. Terrible audiobook here though. Jennifer obviously isn't a professional audiobook reader. And I'm not trying to be mean, here. Here voice is monotone and her timing is completely off. She reads this book at about a ninth grade reading level. It's not all her fault seeing as there's no other production value except her voice for the entire thing. Some 60s music, some more voice actors, and some sound effects could have got the party started. There's no party here though. This audiobook sounds like it was recorded by a lady who is locked in some psychos cellar and while she wastes away she has nothing better to do than record an audiobook and the only book down there was Once Upon a Time in Hollywood because the psycho likes Tarantino. And the computer she records it on isn't connected to the internet.

thoroughly enjoyed this book. provided a deeper look into the characters i loved in the movie. Jennifer Jason Leigh's narration was superbly funny and poignant.

Great movie, great book!

Goes a little deeper into the movie characters people cared about and gives more detail on some controversial points of the movie. But goes far too deep into obscure western TV shows and actors few have heard of and fewer still care one bit about.

The vision Tarantino has is 100% meant for film. Maybe he will have better novels up his sleeve for later in his career, but this was not worth the pages it took up. There are literally entire chapters that don’t push the story forward whatsoever, following weak characters that live better in 90 second scenes rather than an hour of boring reading material. The classic Tarantino tongue-in-cheek style of writing came off as pretentious in the book too. And Jennifer Jason Leigh further pushed this pretension in her narrating, I did not enjoy her reading. (Aside from the fact that her voice is more groggy than sultry) The only thing holding this story together was the film and the performances of the characters. The novel didn’t give them any more depth, it just felt like we read deleted/alternate scenes that we were better off without in the first place. That being said, some moments were entertaining. But it was only about 20% of the book
