" A lot like the movie, by Deve Eggers and Spike Jonz, which I loved. A good, fast read, but it would be made even better, if read to a small child, at bedtime. :D
(I was never scared by the children's book like some people were. Eggers stays true to Sendak's vision.)

" Just when I thought I knew Eggers, I read this book! Anyone who loves Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are should read this book. It's a quick read and appeals to all ages. Max's journey is universal for us all, and I especially like humor and sentimentality.

" Fun, but really lightweight. If you liked the movie, you'll like the book. Personally, the original by Maurice Sendak is my favorite.

" I did not expect to like this book, but I did, so very much. I have my own Max (P) whom I try very hard to understand. I read this for him.

" Magical, dark, sad, beautiful, and just as good as the movie. A really great read that i just couldn't put down. Eggers is one of the best writers out there.

" I thought it'd be old hat after reading the original Sendak book and seeing the Spike Jonze film. But The Wild Things was incredibly addicting and moving. I was sad when I got to the last word.
