This is (of course) a version of Sleeping Beauty. Talk about a fun version! Have you ever imagined what happens to everything around you when you've been asleep for 100 years? It's not pretty. Also some fun characters who have been given fairy gifts (like the unfortunate one given in Ella Enchanted). A fun, quick read at about 100 pages.

Bagus sekali! Ini cerita Putri Tidur yang diplesetkan. Bukunya memang sangat tipis, tapi pesan moralnya sangat jelas. Buku ini sepertinya men-challenge stereotype putri-putri dalam cerita dongeng yang kelihatan cantik tetapi tidak pintar.

Gail Carson Levine has a whole series of these "Princess Tales". They are all very short (could be read in an hour!) but very entertaining. They are all re-tellings of classic fairy tales but with some very interesting twists. Fun.

I think this book accomplished what it set out to do--told the story of Sleeping Beauty with a twist. It wasn't as good as Ella Enchanted or some of others of Gail Carson Levine's, but it was a cute, one-evening read.

I like the way Levine thinks and how she includes practical considerations like how dirty (just from collecting dust)someone must be after sleeping so long. Her sense of humor is delightful.

Kind of sad in a way, seeing how the characters in this book treated Sonora--it's kind of like the way we treat nerds! An awesome tale, nonetheless.

Very cute! This is a fairy tale that I could imagine Hermione Granger might have read as a child and hoped would happen to her one day. Cute!

Gail Carson Levine does some fun things with her retelling of fairy tales. This book is no exception. It's easy to read and is enjoyable.

This one's not my favorite of the series, but it's still pretty good. This Sleeping Beauty is kind of strange.

It is a cool twist. Gail Carson Levine is the best at writing twisted fariy tails.
