5.0 out of 5 stars Fairy tales go a little wrong in _Snow White_., 1 Jul 1998
By A Customer
The first time I read this book, I was quite taken aback by the eroticism that threads thru nearly every story. I later returned to it, prepared, and discovered the treasure between the covers. The adaptions of the fairy tales give you real, flesh and blood characters, surprising twists, and a thoroughly satisfying read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Away from the norm, 27 Dec 2004
By aceadrian (Cumbria) - See all my reviews
This book was supposed to be a massive departure from the norm for me, I am normally found reading Robert Rankin and werder fiction. So I thought I would give something else a go, and this is what I chose.

The idea was that I liked it, but subconsciously made myself happier to stick with my normal material. Only problem was I loved it.

A collection of short stories, each twisted and different. I found myself unable to sate my appetite for the book with only one story at a time and ended up reading and reading until my eyes hurt - so if you need sleep i would suggest not buying this book!

It intrigues, makes you think and brings each of the stories into the modern world, but still leaves the fantasy element there to make them a departure from a simple contemporary fictional story.

I enjoyed it and will be buying similar books in the future, thats as good an accolade as there can be!

2.0 out of 5 stars "adult" disappointment, 23 Feb 2003
By Maria Álvarez Folgado "alfaris5" (castellar del valles, barcelona Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I didn't see the point in these stories: we, readers, don't get a deeper retelling of these traditional tales, but a veneer of sex and violence that gives them an "adult" appearance. While I found the sex and violence were totally superficial and unnecessary, and they didn't manage to move my profounder feelings, I felt deceived in my intention of going deeply into these beloved stories. I think that good fantasy writers often succeed in a deeper view on folk tales without announcing their intentions to the readers, but subtly letting them find similitudes in theme and characterization. Maybe this is because good fantasy writers let themselves be carried away by the powerful archetypal potential latent in everybody's mind and explored since the dawn of time through folk tales.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice to dip into
Fairy stories for grown-ups - a lovely indulgence. The Frog Prince was my personal favourite but most of the stories were enchanting, although some took themselves too seriously.
