Title: Snow White Gets Her Say Author: Chris Wind Published By: B10 Mediaworx Recommended Age: 18+ Reviewed By: Maegan Morin Blog Reviewed For: Great Minds Think Aloud Rating: 3 Ravens
Snow White Gets Her Say written by Chris Wind is a conglomeration of short stories written from the point of view of all the fairytale women (Snow White, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood etc...). It tells the true stories of what "really happened" and how "it really was". The stories were interesting and well researched but I will say that my favorite part of the book was the appendix where the author outlines the original fairy tales and why each was chosen.
I only give this book 3 ravens because though some of it was clever a lot of it was redundant. I was expecting the book to be humorous when in fact it was more serious with a feminist theme (not that that is a bad thing). I just felt it was over done. However it was a quick read.
