Disney Fairies: The Never Girls

review 1: The people of Disney are soooo desperate to seduce us back into Neverland from its Peter Pan film (or films, as apparently there are two. Sad.) and that they should enforce guilt upon those of us who prefer not to believe in fairies. I still love my inner childhood and will continue to maintain the belief that magic and suchlike are so heinous and evil it's best often to not dabble into magical matters. But of course, I'm quite free to change that too...and so are my fans at GR, who should at least sample this book which honors the Disney Fairies, including the legendary hotness at 3-inches, Tinkerbell, the Barbie of animated smallness and played in a live action version of the Pan saga by Julia Roberts (who will never never live down her contribution as some 3-inch slut n... moreamed "Tinkerbell".) In this start of an original series licensed by the Mouse Himself (the black-hearted bastard! How dare Mickey do this to kids of all ages?), four girls are "linked" into a "whole new world" (to quote the Mouse's Aladdin) the world of Neverland where fairies rule (as girls do in our world, hear hear!) and flying is made possible via pixie dust (read "cocaine", but the kids will never never know!). Here one, Kate, will be seduced by The Dark Side into the need for power thru flight and the eeeevil Fairy Vidia (as in: Darth Vidia, Vader's wife?) will show Kate the true meaning of evil in the Force (remember, Disney owns Star Wars, so it should be easy to see the correlations.) Will Kate find the power to resist? Will Tink force (haha) herself into a Yoda type and lead Kate into a better direction for her latent spirituality? Should such details matter? Only if you consider yourself a fan of Disney paraphernalia. Come to think of it, the Epcot dome does look suspiciously like the Death Star. Hmmm, I wonder why...
review 2: Llusion liked it, which is the biggest point because I didn't read it for me. The thing that I hated was that the characters are so far removed from the ones that are shown everywhere else. I mean when the hell has vidia ever stolen pixie dust? And why did every flipping job have a talent, when really they are broken down into groups. There aren't talents for every little thing. And the whole set up of pixie hollow was wrong, down to the homes and just... ugh!!! Basically all these changes made me mad. Llusion wants to read the next one, so I'll have to just deal with it for awhile, but come on! Show that you actually looked into these characters that are already so developed elsewhere. less
