I read this expecting a slightly different humourous take on a classic fairy tale and was very pleasantly surprised. The Ninjabread man is a lot more original than you might assume. Charlie, the ninjabread man, feels more like he's from a Kung Fu movie than a fairy tale.I enjoyed Charlie and Snow, but I have to say that the real highlight of this book are the Scotts (Misspelling intentional, I think), who are downright hilarious. I won't spoil anything other than to say that once they join the fray, I got quite a few laughs from the book.This book is reminiscent of Terry Pratchett or Robert Asprin, with quite a lot of silly humour mixed together with fast moving action. The book is exactly the right length, not too long, not too short, but just right. I'd recommend this book to anyone that enjoys comic-fantasy.As of writing, the book has 8 other reviews, all 5 stars. I'd say that this book definitely deserves every one of those stars. Reading it sped by, and I'd highly recommend it.
