I brought some of these old fairy tale books I used to like with me to give them a reread this summer and, uh, I did not recall the incesty stuff in this one.

I had this on my want to read shelf since 2009– and book club finally made me get around to it. Maybe I would have liked it more back when I first wanted to read it but I feel like a lot of things were left unexplained. I guessed some things accurately and the things I was hoping for the book to fill in for me- it never did. I was just more confused. Maybe when I go to book club we can figure it out together.

I don't know the orginal story of Sleeping Beauty, except for the Disney version, so this was a fresh new take for me. It was really enjoyable and a quick read.

I was right. I was worried for a bit that was wrong but I was not I was right. The choice by several characters to embody nicknames that were meant as jokes to better themselves was well done, both for their characters and the story itself. Also time is even more wonky than usual for Sleeping Beauty tale.

I was intrigued by this book simply because it was different than any other Sleeping Beauty stories I've read...Sleeping Beauty went and got herself put to sleep. It wa sweird and the name Oswqld sends me into fits of uncontrollable giggles, but if you can get over that then you'll probably enjoy it enough.

I love Cameron Dokey's books. This one was ok for me.

I really enjoyed this retelling of Aurore as the sleeping beauty. A nice twist while still including the usual parts (the winding roses)
