A NEAR PERFECT CHILDREN'S BOOK!!!
I pretty much grew up on the 1995 film version of the book, and I remember watching it religiously since we used to have it on VCD. If I were to compare the book and the film, of course, the book would be better. There were a lot of details that were not present in the film and some scenes were changed. Nevertheless, the ALT film can stand on its own since Cuaron (director) depicted it in such a magical and fairytale-like way.
This book is just amazing. The story was so wonderful and it will keep you engaged and wanting for more, no matter how old you are. It has a set of characters that are so memorable, they will be a part of you for the rest of your life. It's very inspirational and emits a lot of emotion. If you have children, this will be a perfect book to read to them before they sleep. Or you can also read this while doing laundry in a rainy afternoon.
I just can't recommend this enough. It was well-written and full of life lessons. Happy to have read this during a 4 hour-long trip.
