This was quite the fun read! For a middle grade book, t was a lot creepier than I was expecting. It's certainly not giving me nightmares, but perhaps if I'd read it when I was in middle school it would have. While it wasn't wildly fast-paced, it did hold my attention and it's different enough from the movie that I would consider this a completely different experience if you're like me and tend to only consume one or the other.
