Book Review of Fairy Tales : Traditional Stories Retold for Gay Men

Fairy Tales : Traditional Stories Retold for Gay Men

Helpful Score: 1


I liked the concept of this book and the writing was fairly good. I didn't like the inclusion of modern-day objects and situations, such as the father having a cell phone and driving a car in Beauty and the Beast, or the Frog Prince living in someone's guest house and going to clubs. It was off-putting in stories that contained ideas and elements of the medieval fantasy world that classic fairy tales are written in. I would have enjoyed the book more if the modernizations had been excluded.
