For starters, I do love the movie. Even though I do love the movie, for a long time I always wanted to read the book but I somehow never got around to it until now. My best friend bought me a copy for my birthday and I decided to wait to read during the Fall and Halloween. 
I have now found a new favorite. Such a great children's book. The dark themes of the film are there in the book, but with a few extras (not giving any spoilers). 
This book is a must read! 
I also love that I now have my own copy of the book.

I love the vibe of this book.  The horror setting and plot were done really well.  While it’s not as creepy as the film it definitely lives up to its hype.  This is one of the few books where the movie is a good representation of the book.
