Helpful Score: 1

I ran out and bought this book after having seen the stage show in Atlanta, and to be fair to the book, my best friend warned me that the book is much darker than the stage show. The book is, indeed, darker. But, it is also overly complicated and tedious, especially the beginning. I felt that it was almost supposed to be some sort of riddle that the reader should have had the knowledge to decipher. It did get better as it went. There are a lot of more adult themes in this fairytale retelling. Teenagers who like the stage should probably are too young to read this one. Overall, I was disappointed, but that's just a personal opinion.
