An interesting take on fairy tales!
I kept seeing this series being recommended, and I eventually managed to convince my husband to buy it for me for Christmas. I'm glad he did - I loved it!
The Adversary has forced the Fairy Tales out of their homelands and those who have survived now live in New York. They have their own government, and they are hiding from the general population in plain sight.
We join the Big Bad Wolf (who looks human - of course) as he investigates the murder of Rose Red. Other fairytale characters are featured during the course of Wolf's investigation: Snow White, Prince Charming (who is a sleaze ball!), Jack and loads of other characters. I can see the basis of the other comics emerging in this first one, and I really liked the bits at the end: short cartoons and stories about the battles with the Adversary and the Fairytales' escapes. Really good stuff!!

Great storyline if you enjoy a fantasy. (1 more)
Well written
I couldn't put this one down!
I picked this book up on a whim in an esoteric book shop, and read it cover to cover in one evening! I loved the story - a little far fetched fantasy, but to all intents and purposes, doesn't everyone like to disappear into a book and lose themselves?! It appealed to my inner child and fairy tale lover!

East of the Sun, West of the Moon meets other fairy tales in this wonderfully written book. The characters were flawed and perfect. I just want to share this with everyone.
The best part was the mirror books. Why is this not real. It was so well thought out and something that I would love to explore.
Overall the romance, back story, and how it all fit together was perfect. I can't praise this enough.

Excellent adaptation from the original
As a young child, I obsessively watched the Animated movie. Growing up, I have read every adaptation I could get my hands on. This movie did a splendid job of translating the animated film to live action. The development between Belle and the Beast was slower in this version which I loved. Overall, I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys this fairy tale.
