For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleAn interesting combination of classic fairy tales. Overall, I enjoyed it.As with everything Gaiman writes, this is a very unique story. I loved the play on the original fairy tales and how creatively he combined them. I also liked how references were m...
Neil Gaiman re-imagining the story of Sleeping beauty. Fun read. A bit unexpected. The queen is now going into the wood and try to find out what's happened to the people and sleeping beauty. She found an old woman there. Who is she and why is she not under the same spell? Nice way to ret...
Not much to say besides how much I adored this one. It's fairly short, about 80/90 pages with illustrations (e-book version). The illustrations are really what sold this book to me though. They make the story come alive. "The Sleeper and the Spindle" begins with some dwarves who have gone into a ...
Er gebeuren zo veel vreselijke dingen met de arme Twijg in dit boek. Eigenlijk, is het boek slechts een lijst van nare voorvallen dat met hem gebeuren in het diepe woud, nadat het pad verlaat en verdwaalt in het bos. Het tweede boek is beter, en heeft een interessanter verhaallijn met meer personage...
Ada Goth is living in a mansion and member of the Attic Club. There is going to be a dog show in her house. Then there is a mysterious sound at night that she needs to investigate. In the middle are funny details of many different characters named after real writers. Kind of fun. Probably i...
I realized while reading the book that I had already read it before - probably as a short story somewhere - and I remembered it quite differently. I enjoyed it, especially the art, though I found the ending a bit lacking, especially compared to what I thought it would be.
I finally got to read this and I loved it! I haven't read much of Neil Gaiman's stuff, but I don't think I've encountered anything I haven't really enjoyed, and this one was no exception. I didn't actually know much about it before I started (like the fact that it's illustrated omg!), but I knew tha...
There was a film adaptation of Coraline released in 2009 that was amazing and will be referenced throughout this review. SUMMARY Coraline Jones, a bored tween, finds a more interesting life through a magical portal in her new house’s drawing room where her Other Mother wants to love her and keep h...
A beautifully written and quaintly illustrated retelling (sort of) of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. The story telling is delightful and the tale has several unusual and surprising twists. This book can be enjoyed by children and adults and I suspect the author wrote it with parents reading to th...
