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.

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...
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...
