This was my first time reading this book. Of course, I knew it was a very popular story and a staple in a lot of people’s childhoods due to the movie as well as the book. I did really enjoy how it was written. For a children’s book this was definitely scary at times. I can imagine children reading it and really enjoying it as an entry to the horror genre. I did also enjoy the fairytale like aspect to this story. I would recommend!
adventurous mysterious fast-paced

det känns konstigt att säga men tycker helt ärligt att filmen är bättre.

I can and have talked for HOURS about how much better the book is than the movie. Its so good it makes me kind of hate the movie even though it's like pretty good. But so inferior to the book

Points deducted for the author

This book felt so short.

I'd say that the film was better.
It goes more into depth and it’s more enjoyable.

• Neil Gaiman is a literal genius (check the update).
