Reading is my ESCAPE from Reality!

What can I say about this book? The reader irritated me with her whiny, nasal voice. She is one of the actors in the Descendants series (which I think is on the Disney Channel). She may be a fine actor, but her reading was all about OVER-acting. The story itself was interesting. The villains have ...

The refresher sure was nice.So much magical adventure, with such wit, you know it's a Disney hit!I have to say, Carlos was my favorite character. He had a tiny part of ...

I read this book because I enjoyed the movie. To illustrate why I didn't like this book very much, I guess I should go over why I liked the movie.I liked the movie mostly because the idea was a good one.

This book is a prequel to the movie, The Descendants. Basically I think the only real draw back of this book was that the scope was insanely large. This book tells the tale of the children of fairy tale heroes and villains. In doing so, it tries to rope in decades of characters from Disney movies. B...

I had no knowledge of this book or series prior to reading this story. In fact, I distinctly remember marking it for my library hold list based purely on the pretty cover art. I am so shallow. -hangs head in shame- Anyway, this is a fast read purely because it doesn't take much brain power to unde...

I read this book since I saw the movie this past summer, and I enjoyed it. There's a few differences, which I didn't like for consistency reasons, but overall, good book and I can't wait for the sequel to come out this May :)I actually did a review of this book on my blog, which can be found here

3.5*Vroeger was ik lid van de Disney boekenclub, en had ik ook nog eens een hele verzameling videobanden, dus natuurlijk moest ik dit boek lezen!Het verhaal was leuk, en door de vele referenties met Disney zoals ik het ken, bracht zoveel herinneringen terug!Ik vond het te kinderachtig om er helemaal...

I think it should be said that I was wavering on whether or not to read this, mainly because me and de la Cruz's books do not get on very well together. But realizing that this a prequel to a Disney Channel Movie changed my mind right quick. And it ended up being worlds better than Frozen or The Rin...

I am a huge Disney fan since forever and I really love how this book brought my childhood fairytale-esque imagination back again. This book was really enjoyable and fun. It didn’t have so many drama going on in the story since The Isle of The Lost is the prequel to the Disney Channel Movie, The Desc...
