Helpful Score: 8

I don't know who wrote the description for the back of this book, but I don't think they actually read the story.

I did read it, and I thought it was a very clever premise and a delight for those of us who love fairy tales. Two notes of caution: you will get more enjoyment out of this book if are you already familiar with all of the standard fairy tales, and some of the non-standard ones. They are referenced frequently. For instance, one of the characters is trying to become a Ladderlocks. This means her life is being shaped into that of Rapunzel, which the book doesn't come right out and say. The other note of caution concerns a bit of descriptive sex. Children love to read fairy tales, but this one is best left for the grown-ups.
