Personally, I loved this book. A full-on fairy-tale itself, it incorporates so many details that I wouldn't have even thought of. Very few plot holes were left open, and I loved how the author incorporated details from the original versions of the books, and not only the Disney versions.

I loved the way this book went, full of surprises and so many amazing things. Definetely worth your time.

This is one of those smaller films you expect little from and end up being pleasantly surprised. Yes you need to take it with a pinch of salt as it is about trolls, but it's a really interesting modern take on the old fairy tales. The effects are surprisingly good, it's darkly funny with some good bits of gore thrown in. All in all, a great take on the mockumentary.

this is the last book in the set, I enjoyed this book, the characters are very strong and well written. the romance between the characters is not a fairy tale one but this only adds to the story line. the story moves at a good pace which keeps you engaged throughout. some of the steamy scenes are incredibly hot.
highly recommended

Oh My God! What a story! I loved it; how you saw they're relationship develop and Camryn's confidence grow. It was an amazing story and recommend it to others.

!!Spoiler Alert!!

That last twelve % was hard to read through my tears, i'm just glad it all worked out in the end considering and as Natalie said "it would be a cruel fairy-tale" if it hadnt worked out.
  
Fanny and Alexander (1982)
Fanny and Alexander (1982)
1982 | Drama, International

"Existential angst, black-and-white landscapes that feel cut out of slate and bone, quivering ruminations on mortality, and symbolic self-reflexive experimentation in film form-that’s all very masterful and inspiring and well and good, but I didn’t fall in love with Bergman until I discovered (via this box set) Fanny and Alexander. A rich adult fairy tale about how we use storytelling in our lives, not for pleasure alone."
