“Rapunzel’s Revenge” is an awesome retelling of the classic Brothers Grimm tale “Rapunzel” by Shannon and Dean Hale along with illustrations by Nathan Hale (no relation). “Rapunzel’s Revenge” is a brilliant tale of adventure and romance that both children and adults will enjoy for centuries!

When I first saw this title I hadn't realized that it was a graphic novel. As a rule I tend to avoid them since (at least to me) they don't seem like real books, but since I love Shannon Hale,s work I decided to give it a chance.
I enjoyed it a lot more than what I expected. It is a very unique and cool retelling of Rapunzel's story. It was more like she was a comic book hero (which wasn't bad), I guess what I'm trying to say is that I thought it was pretty cool that she had killer braids. We are ...more

If you've ever been frustrated at any fairy tale heroine for sitting around waiting to be rescued, this is the story for you.
In this retelling, the fairy tale turns into a western, with Rapunzel running around on horseback, using her long hair as escape ladders, lassos, whips, or ropes that she uses to defeat her opponents and get revenge on the evil witch who stole her from her family and oppresses the countryside. (And they use the word "shindig." Who can resist shindigs?)

The stories of Rapunzel and Jack and the Beanstalk, reconceived as a Western.
And as a critique of pure capitalism.
Much funnier than expected from previous reading of Shannon Hale.

I loved this. So funny.
Very cute
I was surprised to like this so much, considering that I've never really gotten into graphic novels much. But here I could see how the visual medium made it possible to do some things that you couldn't do without pictures (like saying something like "I handled it with grace" while showing the heroine falling over, etc.). It was fun and silly and just right for a Shannon Hale graphic novel. I hope that they do write a sequel. It would be fun to read.
