I thought this was a pretty good book. A nice fast read for me. I saw bits and pieces of the movie and didn't know it was based on a book until I went to the library. I loved the plot and characters of the story. Once I started reading I could not put it down.

This is a fantastical book about a girl who finds a hallway in her new house, where her parents see only a brick wall. Behind the wall is her "other" family, button-eyed versions of her parents and neighbors. There's also a really entertaining cat.
I can't explain it, but it's a must read, and a quick read at that. Though it was published as a children's book, I swear nobody under the age of 23 should read it. The drawings gave me goosebumps, and the story is flat-out scary. Even my 36-y/o husba ...more
