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.

Movie Favorite

"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."

Classic Childs tale

Contains spoilers, click to show

Lyra is a orphan growing up with a group of boring scholars. She has an incredible imagination and would drop anything to do in an adventure with her best pal Roger.

However Roger is kidnapped and taken north by the gobblers. Lyra, being the strong independent young woman she is, is determined to get him back.

This classic story has everything to get your imagination going. There are kidnappings, witches, daemons, armoured bears, hot air balloon trips and a machine that can tell the truth.

Totally worth a read

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!

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.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2652 KP) rated The Problem Child (The Sisters Grimm, #3) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

The third book in the Sisters Grimm series finds Sabrina and Daphne hot on the trail of their kidnapped parents and meeting an uncle everyone in town seems to have forgotten. Once again, the creativity of incorporating the fairy tale characters was wonderful. The book grabbed me from page one and didn't let me go.
