I had loaned the book to one of my friends, other than Ashvini, she read it and finished the week she got it despite how thick it was. Then she would beg for the next book. That is how good it was. This is not a spoiler just a description, trust me I would never give you guys a spoiler with out warning (that goes for Ashvini to). Alex and Conner who are twins and their mysterious adventures in a mysterious land that seems to have jumped right out of the fairy tales that they were told when they were little. It is fantastically written and all the characters have such strong personalities that I can imagine them right here in front of me. Another thing that I found cool was that all the fairy tales you thought you knew were all connected and one and other. They all

First of all it was from the perspective of a bully who from the very start never wanted to be one. It was quite an interesting read. Now the first thing that I want to talk about (or more realistically write or type about) is the cover. Most people say that the cover looks boring, and yes I did think that too, but have you ever heard the phrase "never judge a book by it's cover?" Normally it means that "it is not what is on the outside that counts but it's what is on the inside". So basically to sum things up, don't ever judge a person, and the same thing goes for books... or anything for example (and this is coming from the environmentalist inside me) we are taking plants for granted! Maybe they can't talk or walk but they are still living things! Animals too if you searched up endangered spe

It wasn’t exactly historical fiction, it wasn’t really an adventure, definitely not realistic fiction it was somewhere in between all those genres. I have to say, I actually liked it. A few chapters into the book I was sure I wouldn’t like it. I think that’s probably because of all the violence and harsh dialogue in the book. For example, with Grandmother O’Toole and the whole Langahan’s Groceries scene and the fight between Curly Bennett and Petey, you could say I almost lost my “appetite” for the book. I don’t know why but for some reason I kept reading. I get the fact that the author wanted the details to be realistic for the time and setting of the book, but I kind of wish that he used a less savage way to show that. Once you get passed those happenings the book’s
