( ) I like the story about how and why this book exists vs. reading the actual book. But, I did love the triple jointed arm. I can appreciate its use. 3 different endings. I can see how in life this was a fun experience. You tell a story, it's too sweet so you make it darker, then darker again. The original listener of the story idea, mentions the story around an illustrator friend and her friend says I can draw that. This book is the result of that. Take note: he says proceeds go to charity. That may tell you a lot about why anyone would even publish it. I adore Patrick Rothfuss' novels for adults, but this is a hard book to like... It's pretty clear from the outset (and the cover description) that this is not a book for children, and it is meant to invoke the dark undertones of the original fairytales and folklore. Knowing Rothfuss' talent for storytelling, I expected a tale which evoked the best of the Grimms, was a little humorous while still being dark, and revealed something unexpected about humanity. Yet what we got was a story about a princess who turns out all wrong (even the non-typical princesses have realistic motives for their behaviour) in the worst way possible. I guess it's interesting that Rothfuss turned the genre on its head by having the princess turn out to be the monster in the end, but I still can't bring myself to enjoy the story. When cute fairy tales go *really* wrong. :) Honestly, I watched this on youtube, with the author narrating it for an audience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_Q3N3XUj5M And he was even so helpful as to break it down and show us just how much of a kid's book this IS NOT. He even shows us how we READ IT WRONG. I love this man. :) So cute. So DARK. :) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
