Overall, younger readers may find much to enjoy here, but children and adults alike should start with the original. The Times, for example, called Max's outbursts an appalling symbol of "contemporary brattish America." The Washington Post simply wished that authors would develop their own material (critics mentioned Pride and Prejudice and Zombies as a horrific literary crime, not for the first time). Its greatest appeal may stem from Eggers's ability to convey both the sense of wonder and the dark uncertainty that make up a typical childhood, though a few reviewers disagreed. Critics were split, however, on whether Eggers's novel will enjoy the same long-lasting popularity. Maurice Sendak's spare picture book has captured the hearts of readers for more than four decades.
