A charming and quick read. Started off a little boring, but picked up speed. Sadly, the end wasn't as enjoyable as I had hoped.

First of all I didn't finish this book.Reading the blurb I thought it might be interesting, but the writing was too hard to follow and the whole diary thing got a bit tiring too.The idea was there, the problem was with the execution.It just didn't click for me and that's too bad.

Wow, I have never ever read a story in which the growth of character is so terribly credible. The change is very gradual and real, and well, fun!

I debated for a while what I would rate this book. I've tried reading it before, but put it down because I grew disinterested. This time I was determined to read it all the way through because I had heard such good things about it. I really liked the last section of the book, but the first few secti...

2.5 stars. It was decent enough but certainly not any thing special. The plot was okay.There wasn't much action especially in the first half. Ben came across as a spoiled brat most of the time. The romance was dealt with poorly. There was barely any thing there. I did like the author's style of writ...

Aw, this book was super cute. My favorite part was the way it blends different fairy tales. The main narrative has elements of Sleeping Beauty, but along the way many others make appearances--but always with some kind of twist. Many of them are even gender-switched, and it's like Murdock KNEW that g...

This was a fun read. A really fun read. Written in the manner of fairy tales, this involved anything but fairies. It did have a magic room, a magic book, a princess with an almost dangerous predilection for pastries, an ornery Queen Aunt and (almost as an after thought) a prince. What I liked most a...

I loved this. It started slow enough that I almost gave it up, but about 1/3 of the way in it picked up and I couldn't stop. I love all the fairy tale hints: princess (prince) and the pea; jack and the beanstalk; sleeping beauty; rumplestilskin; and I know there are more that I missed. It was ju...
