This is a fantastic, short book that you could probably read in a day. It's definitely creepier than the movie (with more detail), but except for a few moments near the end they line up very closely. 5-stars because, despite how short it is, it grabs your attention and keeps it throughout with well-written descriptions, witty dialogue, and just enough detail to give you a mental image of the events while leaving much to the imagination and interpretation of the reader.
Read for the Pioneer Book Challenge. It was definitely creepy, but still a fun adventure. I've never seen the movie so don't know how to compare.
I thought the parallel worlds were very interesting. I loved that she won and was smart, creative, braze, and ingenious throughout.
But the Other Mom was SO creepy. I also don't think the hand is going to stay in the well...its a hand! its going to be able to crawl out!! So I'll have nightmares of that for a while.
