I love this novel. The characters are very creative and interesting to read about, which keeps the reader captivated. I have loved the movie for years and this novel does not disappoint! A definite must-read!

I received a copy of this ebook from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

When I first selected this book, I saw the title and had to check it out. I grew up loving this movie, and had to see what this entry was about. It's well written, though I'm not sure I'd be ready to put the dedication into translating it from film to sonnet form, written in iambic pentameter. It makes for a fun read and sounds wonderful when read aloud. I strongly recommend reading this book aloud to your children, whether they've seen the movie already or not. It is a truly magical experience. :)

When I saw this book, Labyrinth by A. Corrigan,  essentially Labyrinth told in sonnets, I knew I had to read it.  A. Corrigan broke the film into fifty-five sonnets.  I think this was cleverly done.  I really enjoyed reading my favorite movie broken into poetry.  I highly recommend it for fans of Labyrinth.

'Labyrinth: One classic film, fifty-five sonnets' by Anne Corrigan was something I almost passed on. The idea has cheesiness all over it, but it is actually quite good and seemingly a true labor of love.

The film and dedication are told in 55 sonnets. I'm no expert on sonnets, so I don't know if these held true to a form of juxtaposing, but the basic form, rhyme and meter felt right.

I wish more of the story of how this came to be were in a preface to this book. The author is a huge fan of the film and felt like the adaptation novel lacked the more poetic feel of the movie. It was written for the film's thirtieth anniversary, but also became a tribute to David Bowie. There are references to Bowie songs woven in and the book is dedicated to him.

If you have a Labyrinth fan in your life, this was a loving tribute and I thought it was executed very well. Bravo!

I received a review copy of this ebook from Troubador Publishing, Matador, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

I would get this just because I'm in love with the characters and the original. Otherwise the sometimes rhyming and other times not drove me insane to the point that I was unable to finish it.
