Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun by Guillermo del Toro, Cornelia Funke
4.0
“Evil seldom takes shape immediately.”
I knew this combo was going to be great, I’ve been a fan of Cornelia Funke since Inkheart, before the trilogy was even complete, and Guillermo Del Toro is a fascinating human being.
It was a fun read for sure and I don’t have anything bad to say about it, but here’s the thing.
It was hard to tell what age range this was written for, it felt like all of them at once tbh. So there’s the intense broken bottle face scene, but the scene with the Pale Man carried only a fraction of the terror it did in the movie. So while it’s great as is I couldn’t help but think it also could have been more.
