A "Harry Potter" for the trailer park crowd. (Not really, but I couldn't resist!)Seriously though, fans of the Harry Potter series will find a lot to like here. Although a similar basic storyline as HP (ordinary kid becomes a hero and has adventures along the way) it is different enough and fresh enough to draw you in and make you want more. And I do want more. I can easily see "The Fairy Tale Chronicles" spanning more than a couple of sequels.Jobe has crafted a real page-turner here as the action never stagnates and the characters are well-drawn and either likable or NOT. I found myself genuinely interested in what would happen next. Like the Rowling books, I found this one to be enjoyable on a more mature level and look forward to the sequel (and hopefully more after that!)Though I received a free copy to review, my opinion (as always) is absolutely unaffected by the cost of the book/story and I always point out flaws if I see them. Well ... I really didn't see any. Aside from the inevitable (rare) copywriting miscue, I found the book well-written, competently edited and ultimately satisfying.Nev Turnkey is a likable kid who will stick with you long after you put down the book.
