Return to Labryrinth

Return to Labyrinth, book 1

The story was written by Jake T. Forbes, and the artist was Chris Lie. It was written around the year 2006 and printed in Los Angeles, CA.

This is a graphic novel. This is a continuation of the movie "Labyrinth" This is the story of Toby and how Jareth has chosen Toby to be his heir to his throne. Toby is having difficulties in school, and everytime he wishes for something Jareth allows that wish to come true. Toby and Jareth have a confrontation and Jareth leaves him alone. Later, a goblin steals Toby's homework. Toby chases after the goblin and ends up in the land. Jareth has been planning for this all along.

This is the first of a series. It ends with Toby and Jareth attending a ball, and Jareth declares Toby the heir to the throne. It was a little abrupt.

I didn't particularly like this book, it was a little corny and it could've been done better. There were many random moments that didn't seem to make sense, and it didn't seem to explain a whole lot. The story got a little bit boring and towards the end it turned into a little bit of a cinderella story instead of an original and imaginative story.

CAUTION: Be prepared to be a little bit bored and a little confused. There is a crude part near the end, which seems completely out of place.
