FAIRY TALE

The master storyteller does it again! This book had me hooked from the word go. It's different, it's quirky, it's got those heartstopping moments when you know the good guys will somewhat win but you don't know how. For no one really wins, do they? And theres nothing called a "happily ever after"!

This top notch quality is a true first hardcover collectible for anyone who wants to add a gem to their library!

Packaging is pretty good and got for good price let's see how good it was..... ❤️❤️❤️❤️

A mind blowing roller coaster ride from the very beginning till the end. I loved the first person narration. Unputdownable and perfect read for October month and for those looking for thrilling adventure with halloween in their mind. Go for it.

Just starting, but Loving this so far.

An amazing adventure into the world of magic - that which wraps around us and that too, which coils within us, making us evil or good (and sometimes both evil and good). Stephen King is at his best, building a magical world with his magical wand of words.

Ending could have been better. Over-all a good fantasy story.

This book was found so boring in spite of my repeated attempts to complete it. I purchased this book more than a year ago and the story was narrated well in the first few chapters. But it literally drags once Charlie Reade takes Radar into the Well of Worlds. I even attempted reading two days back but couldn’t continue it. I did not find any excitement.

J'ai vraiment apprécié ce "conte de fées" à la sauce King, qui évoque un peu par moment l'univers de The Dark Tower. N'hésitez pas à vous y plonger !

He leído la versión en inglés para Kindle, buen libro del maestro del terror. El principio algo lento, pero la historia recobra fuerza y vale la pena.

Um ótimo livro com uma história maravilhosa, como todas as que King nos conta. Sou fã, então não sou muito crítico.

"I'd like to tell you I came back to my better self at the very end. To say I felt regret. It wouldn't be true. There's a dark well in everyone, I think, and it never goes dry. But you drink from it at your peril. That water is poison." Charlie is a regular seventeen year old kid. Only Charlie has lived his life mostly looking after himself. After the tragic death of his mother, Charlie's father was driven to drink, barely able to look after himself, let alone a child. A chance meeting with Mr Bowditch, a recluse with a big dog in a big house at the top of a big hill, changes the course of Charlies life forever. After receiving a major inheritance, all of which included a creepy shed down in the back of the yard, Charlie sets out to save a life. In true King fashion, the story is a very slow build, crafting every single moment so you don't miss even the tiniest detail. The story is created based on the old Grimm's Fairy Tales, spun in a new light and modernized to fit with more recent times. The characters and their relationships are put together so beautifully, they draw you in and make you feel for every single one. Not one character feels insignificant. The stunning world building had me lost in a daydream, just imagining the spaces. The read will leave you happy and sad, nervous and excited, I wove through a multitude of emotions on each chapter. This is quite different from most of King's previous works, it is a work of fairy tale art as opposed to strictly horror style novels. There are some quite graphic scenes though, so younger readers may need to be aware of those.

Following the trend of rewritten fairytales, this story, true Stephen King style, writes using the older darker tales, and some classic horror fiction, as its basis. Clichès admitted as such by the author during the narrative and imagery from modern as well as ancient stories, from poppy fields to cthulu, from Rumpelstiltskin to the siren mermaid, with double moons, dungeons and dangers leading to good against evil, neither absolute, both always present.
