Entertaining.This tale is woven of magic and emotional growth. For the child within all, it has that happily ever after ending. The characters aren't like other fairytales where you feel that the main character is not human or not a person you would know if not you.

I like the characters and the vivid way the author makes you feel like you are apart of the book.

It left a few unanswered questions. Like what was the prince's name...etc. I felt like the author should have included them to keep our minds from wondering, but yet still let the story hold an element of mystery.

Reread it then draw the character. After that it made me want to finish writing a few short stories,scripts, and novellas that I have been working on.

Happy, and like a kid watching an Disney movie for the first time. You know when you feel like you have to learn all the words to all the catchy songs and then you want to be the main character. The was how I felt. I finished the book with a smile on my face.

Inspired me to take ordinary tales and things and write down that way that I want to see them and/or want people to see them.

Sometimes, you want to read something that is light and sweet, but that is not written for under 3 year olds. The older you get, the less you see of that.

Some people might not want a book that is that magical. IT might be too juvenile for them.
