Interesting submitted by glennauerbach on June 16, 2012, 1:40pm This is an interesting book. Not bad, and not boring either. It's well written. I liked the characters, they were good.

Great Adaptation submitted by alumeng.ajl on June 27, 2013, 3:47pm I've always loved the rumpelstiltskin tale. This was a really good retelling of it. It was a bit boring, but I was okay with that. It was well written, and I liked the romance. Forgettable, but still good.
