The ninth and final book of the Sisters Grimm series. A semi-satisfying conclusion. This series is a fun, but equally serious at times, look at fairytales and if all of them were true. Fairytale characters, also known as Everafters, are stuck in a small town called Ferryport Landing. An evil group c...
The Sisters Grimm has a seven-star concept: the Grimm brothers were recording history, all those fairy-tale folk are real, and for the past hundreds of years they've been living in a town called Ferryport in the Hudson River valley, where descendents of the Grimms solve magical mysteries and keep th...
So far, this was the weakest in the series for me. The first had problems, but I was buoyed by my daughter's enthusiasm. The second seemed to improve - was generally more engaging and fast paced - and so I was expecting a bit more from the rest of the series. However, besides the Jabberwocky/Red Rid...
I've always operated under the assumption that if I didn't like the first installment, odds are I probably won't enjoy the rest in the series. Turns out I was wrong. You really do learn something new every day. To be clear, I didn't hate The Fairy-Tale Detectives - I just wasn't wild about it. My da...
Wonderful mystery. I love the Grimm's Fairytales and this is a exciting new take on those beloved tales. Sabrina and Daphne are quite a pair and the cast of characters leaves one truly satisfied with the first book and desperately waiting for the next book!
Appealing notion, but the writing and characterization were not strong enough to hold my interest. Maybe if I were ten... Although even then I'm not sure, because none of the characters really appealed to me. The orphaned kids discovering special magical heritage has been done a lot better.
4/16/11 (later) ** The final 2/3 of the fairy-tale mystery brought if from a 3-star to a 4-star. It was well worth finishing - several plot twists and the kids were able to solve their problems without adult intervention. Also, a good set-up for an ongoing mystery with the girls' parents, who had ...
The Anybodies reminds me a little of Roald Dahl's books, but it is less cruel. I think I would have enjoyed it very much, had I read it at the age of about eight. Now, as an adult, I pull the break after 60 pages, because I have so many other books on pile and my curiosity to find out what happens t...
The series had begun to pall for me, so Buckley brought in several new and interesting developments. I'd say he can keep this going indefinitely which I wouldn't mind, since the characters are maturing and learning and changing. I'm as bad as Daphne, getting all excited when he introduces one of t...
