I understand that this was many readers' first King book. I understand that this book rests in the hearts of thousands. I understand this is meant to be a fairytale, and that I am not the target audience. I understand all that and I still choose to hate this book. How'd Bobby Brown put it... "It's m...
Let's go back. Back to when this bookworm was a 13 year old girl, and Stephen King was still new to her. I remember laying my hands on a beat up copy of Needful Things, and that was it for me. Suddenly I was devouring everything King that I could get my hands on. I loved it all, the delicious horror...

This book includes five original fairy tales told in a classic style that makes them feel as if they could have been written any time, any place.

It is horrible. Then all characters are one-sided only. They are like that and that's final. The on...
This was one of two "advanced" fantasy novels available in my grade school library, and I remember cycling endlessly back and forth between this and The Hero and the Crown.
