I'm certain I read this book as a kid, but I remembered very little of it. After revisiting it, I think it's pretty easy to see why I didn't have a lot of memory of it. It's not often that I like the movie better than the book, but in this case the film was hands down the better of the two. The book is a fair bit darker than the movie, which made it feel a little less familiar and that was fine, but overall I wasn't that into it and might not have bothered if it hadn't been such a fast read. I definitely should have left this one in my childhood.
