this is a great fairy tale book for adults splendid ride

I read this book during my freshman year of high school and it was one of those books where I’d read it after I really should’ve been asleep (about 3 am most nights, just late enough that my dad would check on me while he was half-awake and say that it’d be nice if I could at least try to fix my sleeping schedule). And it hasn’t lost its spark for me. John Connolly was never a name I was familiar with and this was my first exposure to his writing, and Wow. He left an impression. My favorite chapter is the one with the three doctors, and no spoilers!! It’s gets really detailed with things I could’ve never imagined. If I ever get amnesia I pray to god I’ll be given a copy of this book and another chance to play The Last Of Us so I can experience them again for the first time.

Wish John Connolly would write more books like this!

It was such a good book. The book was sad, funny and also had a lot of adventure. It is a great twist on childhood fairytales!

This book took me on a wonderful adventure, and allowed me to remember how captivating books were for me as a child, and even to this day. It is indeed a book for adults that has that core lesson which is standard for a book for children. Great read.

This book was wonderful! My sister gave it to me after she read it and loved it so much. I couldn't put it down so I gave it to my mom and friends when I was done, everyone loved it. I strongly suggest it for fiction lovers!!

I picked this book up at the book store, read one page, and was hooked. Imaginative and fantastical without losing the feeling of a "real" story. I was sad to see it end.

This story's plot is flawless! I couldn't put the book down! Hour after hour I was still reading and finished the whole book in one night... I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the fantasy genre and especially those trying out the genre because this book will make you a fan for sure! Incredible book John Connolly, you've definately won a thumbs up from me and it has to be my favorite book!

This book is a work of art, the words flow beautifully and settle soundly in your mind. This is my favourite book of all time. It's magical

I'm thirteen, and I've fallen completely in love with these kinds of books... I wish to write things like this when I'm an adult. A wonderful story told in a magical way. Automatically one of my favorites!
