Thanks for mentioning Angela Carter. I've never read her, but have seen several reviews and gotten curious about her work.<br /><br />Zetor - So glad to hear your husband is better, and will continue to keep his father's recovery in our prayers.<br /><br />John Mutford - I don't think Gaiman will ever be a favorite, but I am glad to have at least sampled some of his writing.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-13290426677426341422009-07-07T12:32:39.001-04:002009-07-07T12:32:39.001-04:00I've given Gaiman chance after chance and I ju...I've given Gaiman chance after chance and I just can't appreciate him more than "meh."John Mutfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730205221787092204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-25887455826686161752009-07-07T12:30:35.941-04:002009-07-07T12:30:35.941-04:00Thankyou for your kind words on my blog, hubby is ...Thankyou for your kind words on my blog, hubby is much better but his father's progress is much slower, but we continue to pray.zetorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912433866457968555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-56876817324624313292009-07-07T08:41:43.753-04:002009-07-07T08:41:43.753-04:00Hi JoAnn, I am glad that you gave Neil Gaiman and ...Hi JoAnn, I am glad that you gave Neil Gaiman and this story a chance, and that you enjoyed it. Blogging (and book groups, for that matter) should open us up to new books and new genres that normally aren't our own choices. My reading is quite eclectic and I hope to bring other things to your attention (and vice versa) in the future.<br />If you would like to read further re-imagined classic fairy tales then I cannot recommend Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber highly enough.Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-23619088163814005922009-07-07T08:09:58.128-04:002009-07-07T08:09:58.128-04:00Jenners - I like those 're-imagined ' clas...Jenners - I like those 're-imagined ' classics, too...and this one has quite a twist!<br /><br />Teddy Rose - Every now and then I like to step out of that comfort zone.

Thanks for the link!<br /><br />I actually read the first Harry Potter book with my niece and quite liked it for a change a pace. However, I read book two and found it quite repetitious.Teddy Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145413222317511542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-26634699494677937832009-07-06T21:45:23.261-04:002009-07-06T21:45:23.261-04:00I too have never read Neil Gaiman ... but feel lik...I too have never read Neil Gaiman ... but feel like I should.

The story of how the story found its way to me seemed almost as interesting as the story itself. I hope you get a chance to read it - it's sure not Disney!<br /><br />BookPsmith - Let's just say this story was an experience - lol! I guess there's a time and place for adventure, and this just seemed like the time for mine.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-31909205148910127882009-07-06T20:18:45.438-04:002009-07-06T20:18:45.438-04:00That line about the snowflake not melting...chills...That line about the snowflake not melting...chills.

I love the twist that Gaiman gave this story. Snow White sounds like such a cold-blooded cruel girl!!! I think I'm going to have to click on that link myself and read this one too!!
