Review: Fun and Funny - Snow White. Who knew?
Rating: 4 out of 5

I have a weakness for alternate tellings of fairy tales, and I particularly enjoyed this one. As with the first of the Blood Prince books, the prologue felt silly and forced. But I enjoyed the story itself.WHAT I LIKED----------------* It's Snow White! Rarely is that a fairy tale used for re-telling, because it's such an odd one.* Nice spin of the prince hiding the female lead with the dwarves, which allowed him to get to know her some before deciding she was his one and only. As opposed to falling in love with her supposedly dead body on sight and kissing (for all intents and purposes) a corpse, as in the traditional tale.WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE---------------------* The Vampire is kind of a jerk. Too pushy for me, ignoring some of the female lead's resistance. The sex is consensual. Still, I'm of the opinion that every "no" should be respected, regardless of the situation.I would recommend this book to folks who like alternate fairy tales. I don't think it's necessary to read this series in order, since each fairy tale is self contained. The prologue and epilogues may not make as much sense when read out of order, but those aren't really that great anyway.
