"A light-haired cove, slender and muscled like an acrobat, appeared in front of us like something from a dream" (64.)
This is definitely not how I remember him! What happened to the tall, dark, and handsome man alive in my memory? I even looked through my copy of the book rather than rely on what my ears told me to check this detail.
Has this ever happened to you? You reread a book, and find that a character's physical appearance is very different from how you've been envisioning him/her? If so, did this change how you view the character? How so?

I hate it when that happens. And it can also happen when you read the book and visualize a character a certain way, and then the movie comes out with a completely different image of the character. I find the movie image always wins and that's how I'll visualize the character after that.
The movie image sometimes wins for me, but not always. I do know some people who refuse to watch certain movies because they like how they already visualize books and don't want the movies to mess it up for them.
I do seem to be adjusting to Dale being blond and slender, by the way...but it's weird! lol
