I loved this book growing up, which is why I'm so excited that there's a film version coming out this October. I don't know if this is heresy to say, but I think with famed music video director Spike Jonze ("Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys) directing and Dave Eggers (A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius) writing, as well as voice talents like Forrest Whittaker (playing the Wild Thing), this could very well be better than any memory associated with the book. There; I said it.
