Gosh this was a good book and it got me back into reading. It had very strong themes and ideas which I loved and adored.

It was very slow to read at times. And some chapters where a pain to get through, as they were written from Vidals perspective (most despicable character ever written)

While I really enjoyed this book, because it was indeed a very exciting anf yet easy read, I do not think that it is actually suited for the targeted age group.

Disclaimer: haven't seen the film. 

It's basically Spanish Spirited Away or Narnia. If you like stories like Fran Bow, The Cruel Prince, and macabre fairytales, this will be right up your alley.
