This book was ok. It was mostly like the movie it was based off of but there were quite a few parts that were different and made the story a little weird. I didn’t like the changes that were made. They were harder to follow and just weren’t as good as what was in the movie. I don’t like that the book is told in first person from everyone in the gang except Scooby Doo. It’s confusing when it keeps changing who the “I” is in every chapter and it pretty much leaves Scooby out. Scooby is barely mentioned and is just kind of there throughout the book. Also the picture pages in the middle were pretty bad. They didn’t pick very good pictures for summarizing the whole movie and they weren’t even in the correct order. Overall I enjoyed reading this book but just wish it would have been done better.

i watched this movie when it came out and when i saw the book in the store i had to get it. i actually read it a couple of times when i was younger and i couldn't help but love the story. its obviously based on scooby doo 2 monsters unleashed (the movie) and of course the movie is better but i thought this book was cool to have <3
