I cannot review this book because I cannot display it in my device!
The idea of a Retelling of classic stories in manga style sounds interesting.
Until the issue gets fix I'll rated it with a lower range.
*thank you to NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributors for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
2.5 stars.
I just couldnt get into this. Its a collection of short stories retold in manga style. Here we have, Featuring Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, The Two Brothers, The Twelve Hunters, Snow White, The Frog King, Puss in Boots, and The Singing, and Springing Lark.
I have heard of most of them, such as 'The Two Brothers', 'The Twelve Hunters', 'The Frog King', 'The Singing' and 'Springing Lark', I hadnt so it was nice to not have known the back story for these. However, they just werent my type of book. While the artwork was good, I cant work out what age group this is suited for. It has some content that isnt for younger readers. Overall, I wouldnt recommend it but...if you are a huge manga fan, then yes, I would suggest giving it a chance.
This is a collection of short manga versions of classic Grimm fairy tales, fully in the manga style.
Overall, this was a fairly fun version of Grimm's Fairy Tales, but I think it might be too mature for a tween or younger, and not really edgy enough for a teen.
First, I know this is a manga but come on! If you are going to do an ebook, please put the start of the manga at the beginning of the ebook! I had to scroll all the way to the end to read it correctly.
Now the review. This is a bunch of different fairy tales retold in manga style. The art was pretty and the stories were good. I enjoyed reading it. If you want a fun entertaining read for an hour or so's time, this is a good choice.
