I've read a lot of movie-to-book adaptations and I've never read one that sucks as bad as this one did. I think a good chunk of the problem is that it was a first book written by someone with a ~degree~ in Creative Writing. It was just a damn mess all over the place and she clearly didn't have a decent editor telling her NO YOU CAN'T WRITE SENTENCES LIKE THAT WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING.
I wasn't really that impressed with the ~retelling~ aspect of Little Red Riding Hood either. If it had been the grandmother, it would've been way more interesting. But the red herrings were all set up so awkwardly and it was confusing. I was just pissed that she went with the douche in the end not knowing for sure that he was, you know, a vicious murdering supernatural beast.
