There were so many different stories, some really short, some a bit longer. I think what made things more interesting is that these stories spanned the authors career. And like any collection like this, some were better than others, but all were enjoyable....more
You really never know what to expect from a Stephen King book. I didn't read the blurb to this one, just know that I read whatever he puts out. From tYou really never know what to expect from a Stephen King book. I didn't read the blurb to this one, just know that I read whatever he puts out. From the title, I kind expected a bunch of short stories, so not that, but much better, a blend of a bunch of Fairy Tales.
I really liked Charlie from the start and liked that he wanted to help his old neighbor when he ended up hurt. Funny how that one act changed his life. Mr. Bowditch opened Charlie up to a whole new world, one where it was hard to believe what was going on. Sure Charlie just wanted to keep Radar young, but he got so much more. Big battles, the chance to save the day, to change everything in this world and to have a bit of romance with a Fairy Princess. So much going on here, it's hard to describe. I was glad that Charlie was able to share a bit with his dad and can understand why it was so hard to cut it off, even if it was the best thing to do. One thing for sure, he will measure everything else in his life against the adventures he had....more
**spoiler alert** This one was ok for me. It was an interesting take on Little Red Riding Hood. I did find it odd that there was this whole secret soc**spoiler alert** This one was ok for me. It was an interesting take on Little Red Riding Hood. I did find it odd that there was this whole secret society, yet Adele wasn't raised with that knowledge, it was all thrown upon her one day. That is too much for one girl to take, from learning how much pressure was on her to learning that she has been betrothed since she was a toddler. It seemed like Adele made a mess of things, but wanting to not do her job, many innocent people lost their lives and it seemed like it got easier for her the more it happened as long as the wolf cubs were protected....more
This one was fun, sort of a kids will be kids tale. I like that Robin and Marian let their kids take care of themselves, they are more than capable. RThis one was fun, sort of a kids will be kids tale. I like that Robin and Marian let their kids take care of themselves, they are more than capable. Robin's advice to John about the new King was good in a couple of ways, though I don't think that Robin expected John to do things quite the way he did. I loved how the siblings stick together, right there to help when needed. I especially like the person that Mary finally met and how that will end up....more
Interesting take on the Robin Hood fairy tale. I like that they are happy, living their lives, but have the same worries that the rest of us do. Hope Interesting take on the Robin Hood fairy tale. I like that they are happy, living their lives, but have the same worries that the rest of us do. Hope your kids marry well and not to piss off your spouse. Not sure that Robin is doing that great, but it's good that he raised his kids to kick ass. I loved how the girls were able to take care of business themselves. ...more
