I also love the scene when Max's room is transformed, and I'm quite disappointed to hear that's been taken out of the movie. I grew up loving the book, and love it even more now that I'm older (age 30); your review helps confirm my decision not to see the movie. I just love the book too much to feel good about seeing it changed around in a movie. Good review – it’s great to read your thoughts!

I think you and the others you mention make a good point when you say it's difficult to make a movie out of a short children's book - this is the same issue that many other book-to-screen adaptations have faced, The Grinch being one that springs to mind. (ps - I think you'll find that the books says he makes "mischief of one kind and another" - so the film could be right there - although I enevr imagined him being terribly violent or destructive!)

I thought there might be something Isobel wasn't revealing. I'd already heard Edgar's opinion of Simon, and I wondered if the villager's didn't like Isobel any more than Edgar liked the lord's son. I think you did a good job of presenting Barbary's frustration and also her remorse. mwt I just listened to your classmate’s podcast of Isobel’s side of this event.
