Book Review: Trollhunters by Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus
TrollhuntersAuthor: Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus
Reading Level: Young Adult
Genre: Fantasy
Released: July 7 2015
Review Source: Hyperion
In San Bernardino, California, children are going missing.
The townspeople don't believe the rumours of trolls, but fifteen-year-old Jim Jnr knows that they're a very real threat. At night, is anyone safe?
TROLLHUNTERS is a funny, gruesome and undeniably del Toro-esque adventure perfect for teen readers and fans of Pan's Labyrinth.
Trolls are real, and they are hungry. In San Bernardino children are going missing, and no one is sure why. Until Jim's brother goes missing and he sees something that scares him into an over cautious living for the rest of his life.
I am an avid film go-er. I am a cinephile. Guillermo is one of my favorite directors. He directs a film, I'll be there opening day. And I am usually never disappointed. So I figured it'd be the same thing with this book. But that did not happen...I was disappointed. It had the essence of a story that could have been great, but it really didn't grab me. I wasn't ever really hooked on the story, I was just reading along because I had already invested so much time reading this story that I felt like I had to continue.
I feel like there might be others who argue with me, and I appreciate that. I can see how this book could be interesting for others. The story was interesting, it's fantasy based, it has the makings of something that could be addicting to read. But for me, it was short of that.
Giveaway Blitz: #Trollhunters by Guillermo del Toro + Daniel Kraus
From the minds of horror geniuses Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus comes a new illustrated novel about the fears that move in unseen places.
"You are food. Those muscles you flex to walk, lift, and talk? They're patties of meat topped with chewy tendon. That skin you've paid so much attention to in mirrors? It's delicious to the right tongues, a casserole of succulent tissue. And those bones that give you the strength to make your way in the world? They rattle between teeth as the marrow is sucked down slobbering throats. These facts are unpleasant but useful. There are things out there, you see, that don't cower in holes to be captured by us and cooked over our fires. These things have their own ways of trapping their kills, their own fires, their own appetites."
Jim Sturges is your typical teen in suburban San Bernardino— one with an embarrassingly overprotective dad, a best friend named "Tubby" who shares his hatred of all things torturous (like gym class), and a crush on a girl who doesn't know he exists. But everything changes for Jim when a 45-year old mystery resurfaces, threatening the lives of everyone in his seemingly sleepy town. Soon Jim has to team up with a band of unlikely (and some un-human) heroes to battle the monsters he never knew existed.
Daniel Kraus is the award-winning author of Scowler and Rotters, and is the director of six feature films. He lives with his wife in Chicago.
