I love me some fairytale retellings, and Rapunzel's story - as told in comic book form by Shannon & Dean Hale (with art by Nathan Hale) is awesome. In this version Rapunzel doesn't know that there's anything beyond the gated, guarded semi-Utopian community her 'Mother' has created for her. She just...
The stories of Rapunzel and Jack and the Beanstalk, reconceived as a Western. And as a critique of pure capitalism.Much funnier than expected from previous reading of Shannon Hale.
Originally posted on Debz BookshelfFor some reason I convinced myself I wouldn’t like this book. Being a graphic novel, I thought that the writing wouldn’t be that good, because it would rely too much on the pictures to tell the story. And from the few low resolution images I’d seen on the internet,...
When I first started this, I have to say I was pretty iffy. There's a bit to get through to get to the 'current' story, and I don't know that I've ever read info-dumping in graphic novel form. It was...odd. It made me feel really disconnected, and I wasn't sure I was going to like this. But once...
This clever blend of "Old West" and magic was a wonderful reinvention of Rapunzel that had me laughing with delight. Rapunzel becomes her own hero and everyone else's along the way, making exactly the kind of fairy tale to encourage a young girls imagination and confidence.
I loved this book! It had all the elements of a fairy tale, a wild west movie and a romantic comedy. Reminds me of The Princess Bride :)yes, it's a "kissing book" as well!
Rapunzel's Revenge by Shannon Hale3 Stars144 pages Once upon a time, in a land far far away, and even further away from the fairy tale we all thought we knew, the young Rapunzel grew up, raised by Mother Gothel in a huge villa surrouned by massive walls. Every year she would ask Mother Gothel what ...
Overall I really liked it. That's two books by Shannon Hale that I liked, so I will continue to read more of her. There was one thing about the very last page that kind of irked me. Irked is too strong. I was like "Waaaa?" If anyone else has read it and knows what I'm sayin', holla at me.
Darling and innovative twist on a classic fairy tale. The writing is full of humor and the artwork is incredible. There is a lot to be discovered in this little book. It's written for younger people, but I'd reccomend it to just about anyone
