I'm a big fan of Jodi Picoult and also enjoy the theme of fairy tale based novels/films so I thought this book might be a winner. Fairy tale character trapped inside the book falls in love with the young female reader and together they try to help him get free.
Written in conjunction with her teenage daughter is how the book is marketed yet having read it I get the feeling it owed more to the daughter than Picoult as it read very much as though written by a very young author and lacked depth that an adult writer would bring. The story seems to introduce lots of themes but answer none and the ending was somewhat of an anti-climax leaving lots of unanswered questions.
I didn't come away thinking this was a great read, an average one but not worth the current asking price - there are better books out there to spend £6.99 on.
It was an interesting concept that was cute, fluffy and an enjoyable book. There was some inconsistencies, but overall a good book if you're looking for a quick and fun read.
I found the characters boring and the dialogue simplistic. Although it is marketed as YA, I think it is more suited to a younger age group.
