Here Be Monsters! by Alan Snow
3.0
I only picked up this book because I adored the movie "The Boxtrolls"... yeah, the book is nothing like the movie (just like how Howl's Moving Castle and World War Z book and movie versions were vastly different).
... And in a way, I think that's a good thing. Some of the stuff in the books seemed a little dark for a kid's movie - what with the cheese / creature abuse and all that - and don't know if that would translate well to the big screen.
I mean, I was a bit shocked with that they were doing with the cheese. Poor cheese.
The illustrations were pretty cute and Snatcher somehow seems less redeemable in the book than in the movie (where I actually felt sorry for him, horrible as he was).
