The Wild Things Audiobook

" 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.) "

" intriguing and a quick read, eggers did a great job of capturing that overwhelming feeling of being a kid "

" "You think you wrecked this island? That you're that powerful? That you're the reason why everyone is sad or happy?" -Alexander (goat beast) to Max "

" Sometimes it's refreshing to be back in an 8 year-old's mind. "

" 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. "

" "But what if someone's head falls off? That sometimes happens. Can we eat it then?" "

" 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 loved it! What a great adaptation of the children's fav! "
