Enchanting!

Cindy and The Prince: I found this modern-day Cinderella story to be so enchanting and magical that I literally smiled as I was reading through it! Set in Manhattan at Christmastime, it's a highly romantic feel-good fantasy about making one's dreams come true! Cindy could have saved herself, and the Prince, a lot of emotional turmoil and heartache if she would have had the courage to communicate more openly and honestly with him, and I found that back-and-forth part of the story a bit frustrating, but all-in-all, this was a very sweet story. Some Kind of Wonderful: This Beauty and the Beast remake was very well done! The Caribbean setting was spectacular, and Judy's gentle interaction with all the people on the island was heartwarming and touching. The metaphor of Judy bringing a summertime feeling into John's world, and how it felt like winter even in this tropical setting without her, was wonderfully illustrated. Highly enjoyable! Almost Paradise: While the previous two stories in this collection are close and accurate remakes of the fairytales they are based on, this last story only loosely represents Snow White. In fact, just about the only resemblance to the original is the woodsy setting and that Sherry is a counselor for seven young campers. As a parent who is concerned about the intense pressure inflicted on today's young children to achieve academically, as well as concerned about after-school and weekends being scheduled to the brim with various lessons and activities, it was refreshing to read about a teacher/counselor who breaks this mold and encourages kids to use their imagination and inner creativity to entertain themselves. The children learn valuable lessons about life in the process that cannot be learned in textbooks or other acadmeic pursuits. Unlike the first two stories, this one was much less romantic, and that love devloped between the two characters wasn't very convincing, but the teacher/student relationship was well presented.

TRULY AMAZING....

I READ THIS BOOK ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO ALONG WITH KATHERINE STONE'S "SISTERS & SECRETS"... THIS BOOK REMINDED ME OF THOSE FAIRYTALES WE GROW UP LISTENING TO SUCH AS CINDERELLA, SNOW WHITE... ETC... THIS BOOK HAS ALOT TO DO WITH THESE STORIES EXCEPT MORE PASSION, LUST AND LOVE ARE INVOLVED... HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I DID...
