Warning: MIGHT be spoilers.. I say a bit about the plot but I've done my best to leave out spoilers, but a couple might of slipped

I've seen the advertisement for the film on TV many times and it looks amazing, but going to the cinema is so expensive so I can't afford it which is why I decided to pick up the book instead.

And I'm so happy I did..

As you can tell from the title, this is a re-telling of the fairy tale Snow White by Brothers Grimm and it was also made into a Disney movie.

I am a huge fan of fantasy kingdoms, castles, royalty, swords, quests, and evil queens. All of which are included in this story.

Snow White's father King Magnus was killed on his wedding night by his wife Queen Ravenna, and she imprisoned Snow White in the castle dungeon. Ravenna is a witch who needs to suck out the youth out of young girls to stay young. Then when Ravenna asks the mirror on the wall "who is the fairest of them all?" He replied "There is one more beautiful than you" and Ravenna is told that if she consumes Snow White's heart, she will stay young. She sends for Snow White, but Snow White manages to escape and she seeks refuge in the Dark Forest. Nobody who enters the forest comes back out alive, except a man called Eric, who Ravenna sends into the forest to return Snow White back to her.

I really enjoyed this novel. It was short, fast paced and well written. I really liked Snow White's character even though I didn't picture Kristen Stewart when I was reading about her.

My favourite character is Eric. He was very mysterious and had a very interesting back story and I really felt sorry for him. I feel that he was a well-developed character with a realistic personality.

I wanted to get to know Snow White's childhood friend William's character a bit more because he was interesting but I didn't feel like I got to know his character very well..

My favourite part was the relationship between Eric and Snow White.

*Update* I went to see the film at the cinema with a friend, and it was amazing! The book and the film are so alike, and they did leave some of the book out but no important parts, so overall it was fantastic. I prefer the book because I prefer reading than watching films. I didn't picture Kristen Stewart as Snow White, even when I was watching the film. I HATE Twilight and didn't like Kristen in it, but her acting was really good in Snow White, so if you've read the book YOU HAVE TO SEE THE FILM!!!
