This was an amazing book! It made me feel both sad, excited, emotional and made me think at the same time. The charachters is so real and honest, and I really connected with them. You really root for the "good ones" to win. Especially the charachter of Ofelia, she is so incredibly well written and I really sympathized with her. I felt all her joys, but also her sorrow. And I will say this. It is a very, very sad story. But still so great. I think everybody should listen to it if they want an unique experience and a story that will remain in their hearts. Guillermo del toro is so excellent at making such unique and refreshing stories, and Thom Rivera wich is reading the story brings so much talent from himself, and reads so overwelmingly good. I recommend this to anyone who wants a new type of fairytale to fall in love with. something that is both heartbreaking and hopeful, and if you don't like it, you will atleast remember it very well, and it will stick with you for a long time.
