I've read better children's stories. The writing feels dry, bland. It definitely feels like something a 12 year old would write. Originally read: July 17-19 2012

This book was actually better than I expected it to be. There were definitely moments where I was rolling my eyes, but I did enjoy it overall, especially for a middle grade book.

The Land of Stories is the world I wanted to be real with all my heart when I was 10. Alright, who do I think I'm kidding, I still do. I was never a girly girl but I've always loved fairytales and that's something I won't outgrow. Colfer's story is fun, whimsical even,while still managing to get acr...

Ever find yourself wishing for a Happily Ever After? What if, what we thought of fantastic stories are more than that!?

This book was just great. It was genius in some aspects actually. Chris puts a lot of sassy humor in this as well! A lot of great characters, sceneries, and plot devices. Just great. I would definitely reread later on especially if they make movies.

I love how their stories are re-woven...

This would have been great to read to my daughter a few years ago, at bedtime, instead of the mediocre "Sisters Grimm", an interesting take on fairy tales for the older child.

4.6I do admit the fact that I read this book because it was written by Chris Colfer but I'm glad I did because this was one hell of an adventure. I basically revisited all the fairy tales I've read in my childhood and it was amazing to read something that took me back and left me feeling nostalgic f...

Maybe I will get back to this at some point, but it's just so bady written, predictable and unoriginal that I had to put it down.

I suppose I also need to begin by saying that I adore Chris Colfer, and so perhaps expected more from this than I ought to have. But there's no rule that being a talented actor and delightful person automatically makes you a good author.I couldn't help but wonder as I read this if it had been edite...
