I love this novel. The characters are very creative and interesting to read about, which keeps the reader captivated. I have loved the movie for years and this novel does not disappoint! A definite must-read!

When I saw this book, Labyrinth by A. Corrigan,  essentially Labyrinth told in sonnets, I knew I had to read it.  A. Corrigan broke the film into fifty-five sonnets.  I think this was cleverly done.  I really enjoyed reading my favorite movie broken into poetry.  I highly recommend it for fans of Labyrinth.

'Labyrinth: One classic film, fifty-five sonnets' by Anne Corrigan was something I almost passed on. The idea has cheesiness all over it, but it is actually quite good and seemingly a true labor of love.

The film and dedication are told in 55 sonnets. I'm no expert on sonnets, so I don't know if these held true to a form of juxtaposing, but the basic form, rhyme and meter felt right.

I wish more of the story of how this came to be were in a preface to this book. The author is a huge fan of the film and felt like the adaptation novel lacked the more poetic feel of the movie. It was written for the film's thirtieth anniversary, but also became a tribute to David Bowie. There are references to Bowie songs woven in and the book is dedicated to him.

If you have a Labyrinth fan in your life, this was a loving tribute and I thought it was executed very well. Bravo!

I received a review copy of this ebook from Troubador Publishing, Matador, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

I would get this just because I'm in love with the characters and the original. Otherwise the sometimes rhyming and other times not drove me insane to the point that I was unable to finish it.
