Only good thing is the ending of Ofelia's story.
The mix of child's sort of innocent viewpoint with horror and gore did not work for me at all. No idea what the target audience/age demographic is supposed to be.
Cannot recommen.

Which makes this book a great read for 10+ year olds who know a bit about WWII, and who used to like fairytales (or maybe still do)
I for one, liked this book.

It did a good job at combining the fantasy elements and the war that was going on around Ofelia. The illustrations were also really beautiful.
Overall, it was a solid read.
