I watched the movie this is based on when I was a kid and I loved it. The movie does the book justice.

While I love following the story of the last unicorn, I'll admit the prose is a bit flowery and there were points where I had to skim to keep from falling asleep. But this is a great light fantasy, perfect for anyone middle grade and up.

It's very unsettling. I don't know how else to describe it. All the unknowns are creepy or unclear. Im not willing to wait for things to crystallize.
