review 1: I really just couldn't decide how to rate this book, so I settled on "it was OK". It was clever, but I struggled to buy into her presentation of different princesses (Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, etc.). Her premise seemed to be that we have culturally boxed ourselves into a place where it is impossible to respect anyone who is beautiful and/or kind. That perspective seems a both too absolute and dystopian to me. So, kudos for a clever storyline, but I just can't buy into her final conclusion.
review 2: Pamela Ditchoff has written an entertaining romp through some of the Grimm's stories that is just plain enjoyable. I read this book with nothing more than entertainment in mind, and that's exactly what she delivered. While Runyon's lispy speech patterns ... morewere a little difficult to follow at first, once I got past the first couple episodes they just added to the world. Elora & Croesus gave great interludes - the pop-culturish references & snark were amusing. less
