Read in April, 2011

I just found this out (from another book) that there are a lot of Jacks in fairy tales. If someone where to ask you a trivia question like this "What was the name of the boy who went to seek his fortune in the fairy tale..." Jack should be your answer.

So this Jack is having trouble with princess rescue training, he failed. But then what do you know, a real princess falls out of the sky. She needs help and so an adventure is set in place. With all number of creatures and fairy tales coming out of every chapter of the book, I was afraid I'd get whip-lash trying to keep up with everything. The book had no lulls that is for sure.

I can't even remember all of the tales in it and if I mention all of them then I might be giving some stuff away. There are twists in the book that I didn't see coming.

The reason I wanted to read this book was because my sister read it and just kept laughing. She'd flip a page 3...2...1..and 'hahaha'. After a couple of minutes of this I thought, that's it I'm going to read it. I thought it was funny too.

Valerie Seeing you laugh every few minutes was the reason why I wanted to read it so much.
