I saw the film before reading the book, but it’s been years and years. I just remember liking it. This book was an echo of the movie - reading it made me remember visuals and sometimes exact moments. It made me remember the feeling of being young, and of the friend I had been sitting next to in the movie theater. She’s trans, and when the young boy sold the goat to the witch, and was changed randomly into a girl, I remember her saying “I wish I could go to this place and meet a witch like her.” It’s a silly moment but I remembered it so vividly.
I do wish the ending was different, but I like how bittersweet the story is.

I also listened to the audiobook narrated by the author as a companion to reading it physically and Neil Gaiman is such a talented reader. He truly brings the story to life by giving it another layer of depth.
I can't wait to watch the movie after this, and then maybe after that the illustrated story.
