Conosciamo tutti la favola di Biancaneve. Una cosa che però non sapevo, è che la versione originale, non è quella della Disney ma quella dei fratelli Grimm. Pare (non avendola letta non posso essere sicura) sia ben diversa dalla favola melensa a cui siamo abituati, così effettivamente, posso capi...
A bit of a twist on the "Snow White" fairy tale. She plays a much more active role in fighting against the Evil Queen, and the true love's kiss that wakes her from the queen's curse doesn't come from a prince, or even the duke's son with whom she is reunited. It's definitely much better than th...
3/5 stars :) I've always liked Disney's Snow White and the 7 dwarfs :) It was one of my favorite movies since I was a little kid :) So when I saw this book, I just had to get it and read it!!! So I did and I liked it, it wasn't AMAZING!!! or that I absolutely didn't like it, it was just eh. The b...
2.5 starsThe rule is READ THE BOOK BEFORE YOU WATCH THE MOVIE.That means, the book has to be written before the movie script.This isn't here,Which is a big let down.This is so clearly the book from a movie It's almost annoying.You only read what you watch on the screen,No extra details.Though, I ...
What will happen after the tales? War.This book is like the sequel or an alternate ending if Snow White took another path instead of being a royal princess like the one from the fairytales we read when we were little kids. I like the grim, medieval setting of the story and the fierce character of...
Lo primero que hay que decir, que si bien esta novela (que a su vez está basada en la película producida por Universal Pictures) mantiene ciertos parámetros similares al cuento clásico de Blancanieves, contiene grandes alteraciones. Segundo, que la edición es divina: contiene ilustraciones y un d...
This book was really interesting, disturbing but interesting. Elissa was a good female protagonist, Ryan scared the crap out of me, and Elissa's mom gave a good moral to the story. There were lots of family struggles and problems, as well as problem with drugs and substance abuse. But overall the...
I was really looking forward to reading this book. I searched everywhere for it for a month! My local bookstore had sold out and my library system didn't have the book, so I had to resort to SearchOhio, which found the book from a different county and allowed me to check it out.Anyway, when I hea...
Well, reading this book I didn't have too many high hopes considering that it's a novel adapted from the film. Surprisingly, it wasn't too bad. I was dying to see the movie with the wonderful Jennifer Lawrence, but I just couldn't without reading the book first. Elissa and her mother, Sarah, are...
He couldn’t listen anymore to the moans escaping Lily’s lips—they sounded too much like his own mother’s in the day before she passed. She was heaving. Each breath was a struggle. Make it end, Claude thought, clasping his hands over his head. Please, God, make it end. Her ...
Mary opened the door to Francis’s old rooms. He sat at his work desk, striking a finishing stone against a new blade. Things had to be very bad for Francis to retreat to his sword-making but adding to that his scene in the great hall and Lola’s desperate request for a late-night audience, Mary kn...
She pinned Elissa to the floor, her tears wetting Elissa’s shirt. She kept grabbing at her, ripping at her clothes, her fists pounding against Elissa’s arms. “Carrie Anne! Stop!” a familiar voice yelled. Within seconds Ryan yanked the girl off of her, pulling her back and away. He wrapped his arm...
