 I wanted to read some fantasy, so I picked up this book. At first, I had a hard time getting into it, for some reason. But the second half of the book got better. 
It did a good job at combining the fantasy elements and the war that was going on around Ofelia. The illustrations were also really beautiful.
Overall, it was a solid read.

Very nice novelization of the movie. It's YA, definitely not for little kids. Like in the movie the humans are scarier than the fictional monsters. But there are also humans with beautiful, resilient, rebellious souls. A very real fantasy horror.
