A great story. I loved the characters. It’s one of my favorite.

A fun read, and I can see how the movie turned out so well (better, in fact, than the book). Sometimes I felt that Goldman's meta-narrative added a lot and other times I thought it broke the flow even when his reason for cutting part of Morgenstern's story at that point was to improve the pacing. Still, it only detracted from my enjoyment a couple of times, so 95% of the book is gold.
