This is an awesome book! I really like fairy tales (I don't know why, I just do). THis is great for fantasy lovers and fairy tale lovers. Also, if you like Lemony Snicket's books, you will L-O-V-E this book.
oh I absoulotliy love this book but I am still reading it it is a thick and long book and its worth it also it has action, adventure,comedy and the most important a good ending at every chapter that makes me want to keep on reading and reading.
Gross but awesome! my boy cousin will agree with that!
I read the first and just found out there was a second one. So super happy!
It is really disgusting but I am basically addicted to this series. I love it!
It is a good book for anyone who loves bloody fairy tales that make your skin crawl. It was excellently written by Adam Gidwitz, one of my favorite authors. He illustrates that fairy tales aren't all gumdrops and sunshine, but that there is struggle, too. A great book.
REVIEW FOR IN A GLASS GRIMMLY AND A TALE DARK & GRIMM: Hansel and Gretel is not just breadcrumbs and evil witches. There's more to the story than that. Same with Jack and Jill. They didn't just fall down a hill. There were other details; details that were not told in the original short version. Or so Adam Gidwitz tells us. Both pairs of characters long for something different in their lives. These extremely scary and gory tales capture their journeys. Hansel and Gretel long for good parents who wouldn't cut off the heads of their children, and Jack and Jill are ashamed of something, and are looking for a new home and life. In two enthralling tales of adventure and gore, Adam Gidwitz's first two books are sure to make readers fans of the author and leave them begging for more fairy tales. My Thoughts: I really loved these two stories. They were so perfectly written and the author is SO creative! He must have quite an imagination to put all of this together into one story. At the end of In A Glass Grimmly, he says where the stories came from and that is very fascinating. I also have to give him a high-five for the character Eidechse von Feuer, der Menschenfleischfressende, the giant salamander; both the name and the character himself are awesome, as well as the spunky narrator who warns us throughout the story when lots of gore is up ahead. The cover art is amazing, and Hugh D'Andrade did a fantabulous job with the art. This book totally made me want to read more fairy tales and I think Adam Gidwitz deserves a standing ovation for these wonderful retellings and his creative adding on. These books are a must-read for fairy tale lovers, and especially for Grimm fans! I can not wait for the final book, The Grimm Conclusion, coming in October!
I loved the fairy tale theme but sometimes the book dragged om. Sometimes it was exciting, other times I fell asleep. I suggest only reading one chapter/story at a time.
this book is gory yet good
I am totally with you, mudpie!
