Customer Reviews

Beauty is in the eye's of the beholder ...

... and this book very charmingly shows how this is true! What "The Nightmare Before Christmas" showed us about what different things we value, this clever book allows us to use our imagination as well. Cinderella's stepmother, Skreetch, and her two ghastly sisters are total delights as is the fresh artwork. Definitely a keeper!

Beautiful

The illustration is both detailed and beautiful, and is accompanied by an enchanting poem telling the classic Cinderella story. I am 19 years old and absolutely had to get it as soon as I had finished reading it.

The BEST

This is better the the REAL Cinderella story, with a tad of "BONES".

Macabre twist to a timeless fairy tale!

This book is wonderfully written in a fresh rhyming verse. It is an excellent re-telling of the too well-known story of Cinderella. The illustrations are colorful and over-the-top! Lots of laughs everytime you look closer and see more in the intricate and colorful pictures. Kids of all ages will love this book. It certainly gives a fun and creative spin to a tired old tale. I love the story of Cinderella, but there are not many new ways to tell it. This story proves that theory absolutely wrong! I agree with the observation that the drawings are very Tim Burtonesque. It reminded me of The Nightmare Before Christmas, and yet it has it's very own identity. If you like Halloween or gothic humor, you will love this story.

This book is great!

The kids love it, but personaly I think anyone that likes fairy tales and halloween stuff would enjoy it also. The art is top notch and really captures the mood of the story. It's nice to see Cinderella getting a new, halloweeny, twist to it.
