I greatly prefer the movie over the book. I just didn't care for the book adaptation. (

At first, I really enjoyed the backstory this book provided to the movie. I don't know that it holds well on it's own (it's disjointed, just like the movie). But, soon, I found my attention wandering and I wasn't terribly interested in the story.

I think a lot of of this has to do with the way the POV is told. I wanted the POV to be Valerie, which is mainly the POV of the main character of the movie too. But the POV roamed from person to person, letting us in on their motivations and interpretations of what was going on. I find it frustrating when books do this. And I didn't feel like this book went deep enough into the story or the characters for me to get any new information than the movie gave.

and the ending was annoying at best. (

thought it was odd that had to go on line to read the last chapter. Couldn't put it down had to read it all before i could go to sleep. (

Got through the ending of the book with no ending. Have not seen movie yet so now do I see movie first or just read ending on Internet? The storyline held my interest until I realized the characters just wouldn't grow or change by giving more info as I read. Never find out why Peter and father must leave village. Grandmother seems nice to Valerie's family but yet is strange with Valerie imagining wolf-like traits. Father is drunk, mother worthless. Henry is almost too nice, too chivalry - makes deal with Peter out of love. Bringing in a werewolf hunter adds suspense but just is a hater. (

Okay, I am so confused at the end of this book. Is Peter the Wolf? Or her Grandmother? I don't know, and it irritates me!
I need to see the movie, too.

**Update** (later that same day)
I figured it out! If you go to www.redridinghoodbook.com and read the onus chapter, we finally get all the shit we didn't know explained. (
