This is one of my favorite movies so I was excited to see it in book form. Love the cover! It's dark and beautiful just like the film. This is a great companion novel.

Unnecessarily gruesome. Not YA.
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.

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.
