I struggled between giving this book three or four stars. It was inventive and imaginative. The pacing was excellent and I gobbled it up in only a couple of days in spite of having to work my full time job and read around a couple of baseball games. And yet... it was oddly emotionless reading. Enter...

I don't even know what to say. This book will break your heart, make you shudder in fright, and have you widening your eyes over how Connolly changes up some of our favorite fairy tales and myths. I thought this book was great from beginning to end and I worried throughout about would happen to Davi...

"They say that the king has a book, a Book of Lost Things." I'm 80% sure I've read this before but for some reason I can't specifically remember it, so maybe I read or saw a movie that was similar. My memory is poop. I think the revisiting some fairy tales didn't work the best for me becaus...

I honestly don't know how to rate this. I'm kind of leaning towards 4 stars, though it wasn't quite a 4 star read to me. Yet three stars seems too low, so I'm going with 3.5...I think. I may change it later once I've had time to reflect on it. Parts of it really worked for me, and other parts fell...

Fairy tales for grown-up type people, like ME.I read this probably back in 2007 and picked it up when I was sorely in need of a palate cleanser and it did not disappoint. I found more typos this go-round but it remains one of my all-time favorite books.

I thought I haven't read it, but then I remembered that there was a boy who didn't like his new stepmother after his mother died. That's the start of it. The rest is about how he escaped into the world that people are scary and not nice to little boy. He was angry at his new step brother when ...

Not sure what I made of this one. A lot of very adult themes despite the number of fairy tale adaptations in it. A pretty dark book in general.
