The 10th Kingdom: Do You Believe in Magic?
reviewed on + 28 more book reviews


Unfortunately, this book was probably the silliest book I've ever read. I rented the movie after I read the book hoping for some improvement, but I couldn't even finish watching it. I realize this book was a basic retelling of the movie, but it just seemed to get sillier and sillier as I ventured deeper into the book. The characters were weird and I couldn't identify with any of them. The premise has a lot of promise -- too bad it was never fulfilled.
One good thing: I liked the way they worked the "old" fairy tales into this story. That was the only neat thing about the whole wretched affair.
