2.5 stars*** 48 pages ***This is the lesbian edition of the classic fairytale.Siblings Hansel and Gretel are roaming through the woods looking for work.  Lost and starving.  When a beautiful woman saves them from the dangers of the forest, they follow her home and get the hospitality treatment.This wasn't very interesting.  Mostly plot-driven with very little character depth.  And tons of mediocre narration.  I have no idea what any of the characters really look like.  Nothing memorable about the Gretel and witch connection.  In fact, it just moved too darn quick.  I wasn't buying any of it.  Nothing to do with this being a short story, either.  These characters were simply two-dimensional.  One sex scene that lacked a more honest intimacy that would have come from more developed characters.Most annoyingly, Hansel is a paranoid douchebag.  I didn't like Hansel... and I just didn't care about the other two.  A more interesting rendition woulda booted out dudes altogether and the siblings woulda been two hot lesbian twins...
