| The House |
I have been wanting to read this book for a very long time, but I have never gotten around to it. Since the movie is about to be released, I knew that I wanted to read it before I saw the movie. The movie is directed by one of my favorite directors, Tim Burton. His gothic overtures appeal to my sensibilities. The overview of the book read a bit like X-Men in way with the weird characters possessing peculiar traits, so I thought the book would be a fun read.
The author's name is Ransom Riggs (cool alliteration, Stan Lee would be proud) and he has an interesting website. I found out that he was a blogger for Mental Floss which is one of my favorite magazines because it has so many random facts. Although this is characterized in the teen genre akin to Harry Potter, I am hoping that the book has enough "meat" to analyze.
