Brief synopsis (no spoilers):
This is a collection of short stories, or cliffhangers to convince you to read the full book. They each start with a fairy tale and add some kind of twist to it.
Category:
Fiction
Why I chose this book:
My wife read it a while ago, so I thought I'd give it a try
My personal opinion:
Meh. The stories got better as the book progressed- grammar and spelling included, but the language got worse in the middle. I recommend skipping the first two thirds and going straight for the last two or three stories- those are the best. But there are other, better books out there. Keep in mind that almost every story ended in, "Want to find out what happens next? Buy my book!"
Warnings
Language: Yes, some of the stories had terrible language!
Violence: Fighting was common, but only one had any detail
"Adult" situations: Kissing, physical attraction, and reference to nudity, but no detail
Death: Yes, including major characters
Movie rating equivalent:
Kinda tricky. Some of the stories would be R, others could be PG
Protagonist description:
Different with each story
Point of view of story:
Different with each story
Book length:
Medium-long. Maybe it wasn't actually that long in page count, but this book took me longer to read than I normally prefer
Story flow:
Some were decent, most were slow
Grammar and spelling issues:
In the first few stories, grammar and spelling were bad enough to be distracting.
Character connection (no spoilers):
