I'm torn about this book. The writing is pretty typo free, but the style is a little lacking. It is technically correct, but it needs more detail and tone. It's almost as if Grey were frightened to try in some places and worried more about the technical aspect as oppose to the style aspect. Both are important. Because of the style problems some of the stories fall a bit flat.However, the lack of style is made up for by the twists in the tales. The first three stories which are mediations on(by) Rapnuzel are very intersting. The retelling of Rumpstilken is great. The combining of Alice in Wonderland and Prince Charming is funny and inventive. The retelling of Little Red Riding Hood is one of the best I've seen.Grey is worth keeping an eye on. (Quite frankly considering the price for this collection, it's a good deal.  I've read far worse that have cost far more).
