I sort of felt bad for this book as I really thought it had no shot of being anything more than a diversionary “get my head back together” rebound novel. My feelings for this book surprised me after my intensely passionate, torrid love affair with The Child Thief. Put simply…it’s wheel barrow full of WONDERFUL. However, what this story is….is beautifully written, richly characterized and brilliantly executed. …a light, comforting “happily ever after” children’s story this is not.
Trust me, after reading this book, the above image of a sadistic, powerful, child-slaughtering MOFO will forever displace your previous perception of old Rumpy being nothing more than a half pint, mischievous prankster with ethical deficiencies…
Rumpelstiltskin…aka “the Crooked Man” is one seriously scary and diabolical CREEPSTER.
