I haven't read the original story of "where the wild things are", so this felt original to me, meaning I have never read anything like it!

Max is a mischievous 8 year old boy who lives with his mom and older sister Claire. His terrible decisions are getting him into trouble with his family. He runs away from home into a forest, where he finds a boat and sails away. Arriving on an island, he befriends a group of giant creatures, who behave just as rambunctious as he does. His adventures with those like minded creatures are a lot of fun and soon Max becomes their leader, declaring himself as their king. But staying with the beasts for a while shows him the chaos and destruction of such a rambunctious lifestyle. As he gets into a fight with Carol (one of the beasts who represents Max the most), he decides that it is time to grow up and return home.

A great ya read with some depth, I will pass the book on to my son. ( )

Very enjoyable. ( )

This was a fun quick read and probably would have ranked higher except that as an adult, I found the story less enjoyable than I had when I was a child. First, Max was not a likable character and I wanted to reach through the book and smack him. Second, there was no real resolution to anything at the end of the book. While this is true to Where the Wild Things Are, it really nagged me.

However, there were some subtle things in the story that I really did like. Carol was essentially Max, something which I missed until right at the very end, and which added an extra layer of depth to the entire book. I only hope that Eggers' Max learned something from watching Carol in action. ( )

I'm not certain if a re-telling of Where the Wild Things Are (a book that scared the bejeezus out of me as a kid, but that I love reading to my daughter) is entirely necessary, but since it exists, I'm glad that Dave Eggers wrote it. The tone is a little varied -- sometimes satirical, sometimes not -- which makes it hard to say what the book is actually going for. ( )

Adult fiction. Dave Eggers is actually a good writer (for some reason I'd pegged him only as a "journalist" before) but I guess this is one of those things that would only be interesting before the movie comes out. ( )

Het grote probleem van dit boek is tweeslachtigheid. Dat manifesteert zich al in de titel: zo'n half–Nederlandse, half–Engelse en half tussen haakjes gestelde titel doet vreemd aan. Ook de inhoud heeft de air van besluiteloosheid: is dit een roman of een kinderboek? Niemand die het weet. De metaforiek – monsters die allerlei minder prettige menselijke eigenschappen in zich herbergen – is die van een volwassen roman, de ongeloofwaardige opbouw van het verhaal doet aan een belegen kinderboek denken.

In feite is Max (en de Wild Things) een moderne versie van Godfried Bomans' klassieker Erik of het klein insectenboek, vol dieren met menselijke trekjes, een intelligent jongetje dat hen iets bij tracht te brengen en een onduidelijke mengvorm tussen kinderboek en roman voor volwassenen. Maar waar Bomans' boek een afgerond verhaal is, vol van humor, daar is Max (en de Wild Things) vooral leuk voor zover het zich afspeelt in de gewone mensenwereld.
De hype rond Eggers mag dan verdiend zijn, niet alles wat hij aanraakt verandert in goud. Zelfs niet in januari.

There are seven Wild Things all told, and getting to know them all within a 2-hour film is made easy by the fact that they are so broadly drawn. They have the lively, well-traveled banter of a family, making fun of each other’s quirks and accommodating them at the same time. It helps a lot that they’re cute. But they crowd the story in Eggers’ novel. Their family bickering, which is quick and witty in the film, makes for pages of dialogue in the novel, during which I frequently lost track and who was who. Max’s personal journey starts out as a basic hero’s quest from home to unknown, at which point it breaks down into seven different quests as Max works out his personal issues with each of the Wild Things. If this sounds like pop-psych jargon, it’s because that’s what the weakest parts of the novel remind you of.
 
My resistance began from the very first sentence. Max is chasing his little white dog down the stairs. In Where The Wild Things Are, the dog is a nameless, terrier-shaped blob rushing anxiously out of frame. In The Wild Things, he's called "Stumpy". Worse than just the name – it's obviously wrong, isn't it? – is that something ethereal and elusive has become so distressingly concrete.

Matching Stumpy pant for pant, Max chased his cloud-white dog through the upstairs hallway, down the wooden stairs, and into the cold open foyer.

'I made a surprise for you. Your first royal meal.'

Max could smell something put under his nose. His body shook involuntarily. It was the most potent and wretched smell he had ever encountered. It was like a thousand long-dead fish soaked in gasoline and eggs.
If he were about to bite into, say, a strawberry, and it told him to stop, he too would want a good explanation.
