I watched the movie before reading the book. It was good, but I wanted the doll with the button eyes and Wybie!! It wasn't as good without him.

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.

Neil Gaiman does fast paced adventure really well, and this book sets such a spooky mood. The themes of bugs and rats and things that invade your home make for a legitimately scary story. Dave McKeans terrifying illustrations help too.
