This was horrible. Just horrible. These novellas are filled with contradictions, the action moves too fast, the writing made me want to pound my head against a wall. I love the idea but I wish someone who knows the ins and outs of writing was doing this.All the characters talk like spoiled-bra...
Reading this is like solving a puzzle. You have to know what each puzzle is shaped like, just like what the characters had said or thought, to put everything together and solve the puzzle. Sometimes, they give you a clue, like a chance card, but other times, it just comes by memory.Although the b...
This is one of my favorite prequels, it was better than all the previous sequels simply because this seemed to be the darkest and most twisted out of all the prequels. There's no annoying characters and lame jokes. I love the blending of folklore legend and history to a fairytale story. I especia...
The idea behind this series is marvelous! The writing of these tales, however, is another story. I absolutely loved the concepts of these "Diaries", but the grammatical errors and the amateurish writing made me want to slam my head into the wall several times through the duration of reading them....
Perhaps more of a 2.5 star book but I bumped the rating because the editing has tightened considerably in this one. It still bounces a bit too much, making dear Prince Charming sound slightly neurotic, but it isn't nearly as disjointed as previous entries to the series. All in all, I just don't s...
I loved this book, quirky and strange. A heroine with difference and Decca certainly gives Katnis and Tris a run for their money. Two lead males in Leo and the elusive Woo to create a wonderfully weird love triangle. Strong bonds formed during the games with other characters lead me to believe t...
I would actually probably give this a 2.5. I didn't NOT like it, but it wasn't the greatest thing I've ever read either. I did, however, appreciate the unique aspect of the Beauty and the Beast story. This Sci-Fi version of beauty and the beast was interesting. It needed some line editing and the...
I have read this prequel since it was said to be the last prequel needed to be read before I can read Cameron Jace's first full-length novel. Out of all the prequels thus far - with the exception of the one centering around Little Red Riding Hood - this has got to be the best prequel thus far. Ju...

Dear Wilhelm Carl Grimm, She is not that giddy, naïve, and helpless princess she pretends to be. Please don’t let her fool you with her innocence if you see her sing to the birds in the forest. Resist her charm from bringing joyful tears to your eyes, and shield yourself from her devious beau...
Yes, I am in a seat, and on a bus. Not the one in my dream, but a real one, outside of the asylum.“Bad dreams?” the Pillar rests both his hands on a cane next to me. We’re sitting in the front seat of the bus. I crane my head to see the driver. He isn't a rabbit. Instead, it's that mouse-looking ...
I don’t even know when he was here in the past or what he’s done. All I get from his wink is that he is distracting the monks so I can solve the machine’s puzzle.“Come with me, Xian,” I tell the old man, walking back to Deep Blue.“So you know how the numbers go to the machine?” He asks.“Hardly,” ...
the Queen roared at Margaret. “Now!” “How am I supposed to do that, My Queen? You know what kind of a monster he is.” “Just figure it out!” The Queen padded the chamber left and right, hands behind her back. “It’s too soon for an apocalypse. I want ...
Tooth & Nail & Fairy TaleAs told by the Jack Madly Dear Diary, I know it would seem plausible if I told you stories about me; my many adventures could fill thick volumes of books full of laughter, awesomeness, and a few heartbreaks on the side. What can I say, I am far from being boring. ...
I can’t control it. It sways to the left, and to the right when I push the gas pedal faster. Leo puts his hands over mine on the steering wheel to maintain stability. I look in the rearview mirror. The boys and girls are on the edge of their seats, willing to help. “Wow,” one of the game-loving b...
This is what Tom Truckle does. Even the Pillar himself disappears in the flash of an eye, probably behind the bushes, because this place is actually a small prison of trees and vicious flowers.There is nowhere out of here, except climbing over the high walls in the back or through the door we cam...
All the characters in it, human and otherwise, are imaginary, except only certain of the fairy folk, whom it might be unwise to offend by casting doubts on their existence. Or lack thereof.”Neil Gaiman Prologue for the Grimm Diaries series It’s unknown to the common human being that most of t...
“Would I be here talking to you if I did?” the wise man said. “A dragon would've already burned me with its flaming fire.” “Have you ever seen a dwarf, then?” I inquired. “I wouldn’t still be alive as well,” the wise man said. “Because I would have died from laughter.” “A troll?” I raised an eyeb...
The remains of the dead witch’s skeleton were found in a small town near Venice in Italy. To inspect it, I had to fool my teachers in California and tell them that my German grandma died and that I had to fly overseas to attend her funeral. No one even asked me to have my parents call the schoo...
But the man whom everyone feared, the man who walked among whales, trudged onto our ship's deck, a huge bottle of ale in one hand. He could barely walk straight, his watery boots thumping on the floor, slightly swaying among the sailors and misfits of the Pequod. Captain Hook was drunk. His huge ...
Timmy jumps up and down on his couch. “May I present to you Artificial Sky and the Wheel of Fortune.” The cameras show Prophet Xitler in his Royal Tower, with Eliza Day and a bunch of senators next to him, clapping hands enthusiastically. “I have experienced Instant-CGI,” continues Timmy. “I hear...
He cups his ears, trying not to listen to His voice. Then shuts his eyes tight, hoping it will snap him out of his scary Wonderland memories.In spite of my demanding need to enter his head and learn about my past through his memories, I end up doing the total opposite. I realize I cherish the Mar...
