Description:
Max likes to make noise, get dirty, ride his bike without a helmet and howl like a wolf. In any other age he would have just been considered a boy. These days he is considered wilful and deranged. After a row with his mother, Max runs away.
He jumps into a boat and sails across the ocean to a strange island where giant and destructive beasts reign - The Wild Things.
After almost being eaten, Max gains their trust and he is made their king.
But what will he do with the responsibility?

Dave Eggers 's books were recommended to me and I chose this Wild Things to be read first. And it proved to be a bit of a disappointment. I don't know what I expected but I didn't expect this to be a Fairytail, a classic story about a child who escapes reality by creating his own magig world where he is the king and ruler.
Eggers writes well and I liked Max and the first part of the book where Max still lives in reality, at home. But the latter part in the island was just too much, too predictable and childish. So, I didn't like the book but the mistake is mine only. I did not find out facts about the book beforehand. If I had I would have picked up some other Eggers's book to read.

Will be released 2018-03-19 at helsinki-vantaa airport. Or Oulu airport if I do not have any spare time in Helsinki:)
