Customer Reviews

Every bit as good as the movie - and in some ways, better

Sleepy Hollow is my favorite movie. At the time I started reading this book, I had seen it 42 times; the movie already having debuted in movie theaters over a year ago. I've read quite a few books on the movie and the original story, and this book including both certainly is worthy of your money. I couldn't put it down and I finished it in a day. It has the same plot, of course, as the movie; but with more insight. You get into the characters' heads and know what they're thinking. There is much detail cut out of the movie that is revealed here; so many things in the book you pick up that would be otherwise impossible to learn through the movie. I strongly reccomend this book to anyone - whether you have seen the movie or not. And the original Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving that is included is an added bonus!

A must Have

Ok I got this 2 days ago and I finished it yesterday. I couldn't put it down for one second. I have already seen the movie before I read this it had me picturing everything from the movie in me head. If you havn't seen the movie then you could probly picture it in your head. It is a must have book. After I had finshed it I was afrid that the hoursman was coming to get me, thought I know it's not real but the book made it seem real

This Book Will Leave You Guessing

This book will leave you guessing, untill the near end of the book, of who is controlling the Headless Horseman, who stole his head from the grave? This book get's creepy during the middle of the book. It makes you think during the night. I recommend this book for all who love to be scared.
