This was, quite literally, an adult fairy tale! Who knew there were fairies flying all over the world? ;) This is not my usual cup of tea, but it kept me interested enough to finish it, but I guess my whole "suspend your attachment to reality" abilities aren't as strong as they are for others. I...
Heather and Morag and several of their friends--flower fairies all, hailing from Scotland and England--have arrived in New York, driven out of their homelands for trying to inject punk-chic in the form of Ramones tunes into the repertoire of fairy musicians. They're good fairies, yes, but they have...
It's not terrible - it's just not that interesting to me. Also not the best written work I've ever read. It didn't capture my interest enough to keep reading so I've put it down for now. Maybe I will get back to it eventually.
Intermittently adorable, this fairy story is frothy as frothy can be. I think I'd have given it three stars except for the dangling ends and the unexplained bits- the fairies are quite small, yet one of them puts a cassette tape in her sporran, with no explanation of how that could happen. Ditto bel...
This book is a whole lot of WTF just happened. The book stars Scottish fairies Heather and Morag who end up in New York after getting banished from Scotland. There they meet Dinnie who is overweight, anti-social, and a terrible violin player and Kerry who suffers from Crohn's disease which leaves he...
I'm of two minds about this book.On one hand, the book is a cocktail of JRRT, Shakespeare, Fairy Lore, West Side Story, and a slew of other things. This I liked.On the other hand, none of the human characters are totally likable and the jumping around is a bit annoying.Actually, Kerry is likable bu...
These are one of those stories that you have to read a couple of chapters or more to grasp who is who and what is going on. There were just so many characters and it seemed there was always some sort of trouble these fairies were into.My version of the book had a intro by Neil Gaiman which I think ...
I picked up this book because it was something someone in one of my book-clubs suggested and it has an introduction by Neil Gaiman (an author I adore). In the end? I'm kinda sorry I did. This book is, I think, supposed to be a lot funnier than it is. It hints at some deeper thoughts (maybe two...
The Good Fairies of New York was chosen for a challenge. It fit the bill (date published) and was available at the library, so I thought I'd give it a go. This is first, only book I've read so far by Martin Millar. The world he created was full of dark, twisted humour and fairies. The novel start...
As soon as I read the opening lines, I knew I would like this book. "Dinnie, an overweight enemy of humanity, was the worst violinist in New York, but was practicing gamely when two cute little fairies stumbled through his fourth-floor window and vomited on the carpet. 'Sorry,' said one. 'Don't ...
