"Once Max reaches the island of the beasts, Eggers goes for broke. We get a writhing Technicolor landscape of carnivorous vines, lava beds, mini-tornadoes, mutant snakes, and, of course, the beasts themselves, a motley bundle of brawn and neuroses.... The real question, when it comes to literature, is whether a particular author is interested in hustling us through a breakneck plot (a la Dan Brown) or investigating the internal lives of his or her creations. The best books-and I happily includeThe Wild Thingson this list-manage to do both.... Eggers has written a book for readers of all ages, without dumbing down his prose. But his highest achievement is in having found a fresh way to tell us a story we already know so well, about the monstrous forces of love and hate that mark every childhood-and pursue us howling into adulthood." - Steve Almond,Boston Globe, "Once Max reaches the island of the beasts, Eggers goes for broke.

Like the original, this is far from the cosy world kids are often fed, but it has real heart-Eggers uses simple but superbly effective prose to suggest that childhood has to be lived without cosseting for us to grow up with any semblance of a normal personality." - Doug Johnstone, the Independent "Eggers makes us privy to Max's thoughts, fears and desires. He lets us feel the boy's confusion and horror as anger results in shocking behaviour....[ Wild Things ] is not only a wonderful read, but a lovely product. McSweeney's is known for the care it takes in producing its books. From the cover illustrations by Rachel Sumpter to the quality paper and printing, to the informative postscript by the author/publisher, this does Sendak's original picture book proud. (It's for all ages, by the way, not just for kids.)" - Bernie Goedhart, Montreal Gazette "Everything is in the spirit of Sendak's book. There are knowing nods-Max carves his name on the boat during the boring trip to the island-and the monsters retain their utter, incomprehensible difference. There is far more emotion: the monsters are petulant, panicky, selfish, vulnerable and violent. 'We want what we want. We want all the things we want,' says one, 'oh, and we want no more want.' Without being too grandiose, Max learns that 'uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.' His attempts to govern the monsters slip from rumpus to warfare to disillusionment. More than in the original, Max learns what it feels like to let others down, although this moral is not forced nor mawkish. The parting is affecting. It won't just be Max and the monsters that end in 'a mess of tears.'" - Stuart Kelly, The Scotsman, "Once Max reaches the island of the beasts, Eggers goes for broke.
