Book Review: Snow White and the Eighth Dwarf
Snow White and the Eighth Dwarf by Suzie Quint
4 stars
Category: Adult
Note: Novella-length. I obtained a free copy via Prolific Works.
Summary: Deep in the woods lived seven male dwarves and one female dwarf who was queen of their house with all of the male dwarves eager to please her. And then Snow White happened upon their doorstep. All of the dwarves fall madly in love with her being royalty with a tragic tale. To the female eighth dwarf Bitchy, Snow White was the unwanted guest who just wouldn’t leave. Not only did she steal time with Grouchy and Bashful, Bitchy’s favorites, but she was hopeless at chores, and kept working on their heartstrings even more each time her evil witch of a step mother made an attempt on her life. Bitchy finally takes matters into her own hands and enlists the huntsman to bring back a rather dim-witted but charming prince to whisk Snow White away.
Comments: Raunchy, foul-mouthed (yes, lots of four-letter words in this), irreverent, and with a dark humor, but ultimately a hilarious different take on a classic. I loved the idea of seeing these fairytale princesses from the point of view of a regular woman. While Snow White is the typical Disney version, Bitchy is a take-charge (with limited patience) lady since she has to manage the household of seven men. I loved how she was convinced that Snow White wasn’t as pure as she seemed. I liked that she didn’t want Snow White actually dead, just out of her hair, so she did come to the princess’s rescue each time, and that the male dwarves were rather useless in figuring out what they needed to do to save her. I was surprised this didn’t go into being a reverse harem. I expected it straight through to the end of the story, but it never went down that direction (she was sleeping with them individually), and nothing was actually graphic. I did love the huntsman’s adventures of trying to bring back a rather dim-witted prince charming, which they weren’t even sure that he was the right prince charming. And I loved Bitchy complaining about how they couldn’t get Snow White to do even the most basic of chores without things going horribly wrong. I recommend this fun short read, if you don’t mind the swear words, and love raunchy dark humor spins to your Grimm tales.
