Rendition Toward Books A Tale Dark & Grimm (A Tale Dark & Grimm #1)

In this mischievous and utterly original debut, Hansel and Gretel walk out of their own story and into eight other classic Grimm-inspired tales. As readers follow the siblings through a forest brimming with menacing foes, they learn the true story behind (and beyond) the bread crumbs, edible houses, and outwitted witches.

Fairy tales have never been more irreverent or subversive as Hansel and Gretel learn to take charge of their destinies and become the clever architects of their own happily ever after.

Column Regarding Books A Tale Dark & Grimm (A Tale Dark & Grimm #1)

This debut YA novel is getting a lot of well-deserved attention. Gidwitz manages to balance the grisly violence of the original Grimms fairy tales with a wonderful sense of humor and narrative voice, somewhat reminiscent of Lemony Snickets take on the penny dreadful, but also completely fresh and unique. Gidwitz weaves the fairy tales together into a single narrative featuring Hansel and Gretel, and does it so well youll be wondering if this was the way the stories were meant to be told back in

I've always liked an analogy for reading I once heard from an English teacher: sometimes your relationship with a book can be just like relationships with people. There are people you'll be instantly drawn to because they have a particular charisma or chemistry for you, yet with time you might realize they lack the depth and quality to be a good relationship. And there are people who don't immediately impress you or draw you in, but the more time you spend getting to know them the more they grow

Didnt want to read this. Nope. Not a jot. Three reasons for that. First off, the title. Ive said it about twenty times since reading it and every time I cant quite get it right (derivations have included "Something Dark and Grimm", A Grimm Tale, and Something Grimm). Second, the jacket of the hardcover edition of this book isnt particularly new. Silhouettes against a blue background. Ho hum. Third, I couldnt believe that I was dealing with yet ANOTHER middle grade novel adapting fairy tales in

To see this review and others please visit www.readrantrockandroll.comI have a thing for fairy tales, especially Hansel and Gretel. So when I saw A Tale Dark and Grimm at the library a few weeks ago, I couldn't hesitate. I needed to read this book. Firstly, I thought the story was incredibly creative. It's like the classic Hansel and Gretel except in addition to the witch, they deal with many other scary beings and they move through different fairy tales. They decide they must choose their own

Not the worst thing I've ever read, but it was pretty close. I was able to slog my way to the end though.

This is an odd book...short with a "young" cover painting the book is played for somewhat adult humor played against the back drop of the "original" morality tales (bloody morality tales) told in the Grim Grimm's Fairy Tales. You know the ones where the step sisters try cutting off their toes and then their heels to make them fit in the glass slipper? Here we're told a story of Hansel and Gretel...but not the one you're familiar with. No with repeated warnings to be sure there are no children in

Lemony Snicket walked so this series could run.Yeah. I said it.My dear sister dearly loves this book, and so I read it because things that are dear to people who are dear to me should automatically be dear to me too.Feel like thats a rule.This was fine, but a little boring. Which is shocking because I tend to find that middle grade adventure is way less boring than young adult anything. But here we are.It was very, very dark, which I respect. Extremely dark and gory and violent and
