dannimaxwellbabcock 's review for:

The Isle of the Lost by Melissa de la Cruz

3.0

---

While it was an okay book, I think I only liked it because I LOVED the movie that precedes it. This is one time where I favour the movie to the book. I get that this prequel follows the four kids that are followed in the movie and you get to see where they come from and how their parents are towards them before everything that happens in the movie, but something about this book felt lacking almost. I can't explain why I feel this way, it just didn't really sit as well as the movie did with me.

But I totally loved the movie and the move get 5/5 stars ;)
