The Spiderwick Chronicles was written by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. I chose this book to compare to the movie because I have read the series and enjoyed them very much. The fantasy world created by DiTerlizzi/Black is exciting and keeps you on the edge of your seat. When I enjoy a book as much as I did these, I try not to see the movie if one is released. The movie hardly ever does the book justice. However, Spiderwick Chronicles comes pretty dog gone close. I was surprised to see how well the movie followed the story line of the book. What impressed me the most though was how the fantasy characters of the movie truly reflected the illustrations in the book. The special effects team of the this movie did an great job of trying to capture the look of the look of DiTerlizzi’s trolls and sprites. This is one story I thoroughly enjoyed seeing on the movie screen.
