I have always enjoyed the Grimm fairy tales, so I was intrigued by these stories.  I saw there were a lot of mixed reviews, and so I was unsure whether or not I wanted to actually read them.  It wasn't until a request went out to read and give the book an honest review that I finally decided to give into my curiosity.They started out pretty interesting, a whole spin on the original stories showing that what everything thinks about them is wrong.  That was my favorite part about them.I wish I could have liked them more, but there were a lot of issues.  There were a couple of pretty good stories, but the rest of them seemed more thrown together and harder to keep up with what was going on in them.My favorite of them all was the one about Little Red Riding Hood.  It was the one that seemed the most to actually fit as a fairy tale.  The rest had too much pop culture it in, and it really took me out of the story.  I mean... Dracula, named Draco, and reading Harry Potter... it just threw it all off for me.Personally, I wouldn't recommend this story to anyone until it is fixed up - a lot.  Except the Red Ridding Hood story.  Seriously - it was pretty cool.
