Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents Pan's Labyrinth by Guillermo del Toro and Cornelia Funke, read by Thom Rivera.
The Sunday Times and New York Times best seller.
This enthralling novel, inspired by the 2006 film, illustrates that fantasy is the sharpest tool to explore the terrors and miracles of the human heart
You shouldn't come in here. You could get lost. It has happened before. I'll tell you the story one day, if you want to hear it.
In fairy tales, there are men and there are wolves, there are beasts and dead parents, there are girls and forests.
Ofelia knows all this, like any young woman with a head full of stories. And she sees right away what the Capitán is, in his immaculate uniform, boots and gloves, smiling: a wolf.
But nothing can prepare her for the fevered reality of the Capitán’s eerie house, in the midst of a dense forest which conceals many things: half-remembered stories of lost babies; renegade resistance fighters hiding from the army; a labyrinth; beasts and fairies.
There is no one to keep Ofelia safe as the labyrinth beckons her into her own story, where the monstrous and the human are inextricable, where myths pulse with living blood....
Critic Reviews
"Funke’s sensitive expansion of Del Toro’s dark fantasy is a delight." (Guardian)
"More than just a film spin off, this is a beautiful companion piece and a reminder of the importance of Del Toro’s initial vision." (Observer)
"A work of consummate love and passion, one that needs to be revered for its unmistakable brilliance...This novelisation not only lives up to impossibly high expectations but incredibly adds to the darkest of magical fairytales." (Starburst)

Best read before seeing the film
This is one of those books is best to read before the film. The narration isn't all that bad, the subchapters are nice additions to the book in general.

The marvellous performance and story of pan’s labyrinth
The performance was incredible. The reader always seemed to take my breath away, but how much action each word betrayed and the story the store it seem to always drag me on like a thin line. I always make me wanting to come back for more.
So far, this is the best audible book, I read, and listened to in awhile. It was so good, but I actually want to look up physical copy
Of those participated, and made this masterpiece of a tail I thank you for giving me the most excitement that I could ever imagined from listening and reading from this book sincerely, Bartholomew

Superb
This story is superbly told, and the strong Spanish accent of the narrator adds a beautiful authentic feel to it.
