[...] The Book Smugglers have an incredible review of Shannon, Dean and Nathan Hale’s Rapunzel’s Revenge: This is a book I will give to my ten year old sister to read because of its imagination, it’s beautiful illustrations, writing, and above all because of its model, empowering heroine. Absolutely recommended… ….I had a LOT of fun reading this, for all the right reasons: writing, illustrations, plot and characters. MORE, please. [...]

I’m still torn on graphic novels as a whole. My experience has sadly been mostly “miss” in the “hit or miss” world of books as a whole.

However, I was intrigued by this book and ordered a copy online with nothing more to go on than the YouTube trailer and a handful of very short reviews.

I had heard good things about Shannon Hale (hadn’t yet read anything by her, and since then I’ve only read Austenland) and I’ve usually enjoyed reimagined fairy tales.

When the book arrived, I tore through it and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m not an art connoisseur by any means and I’m still not 100% sold on the art direction, but generally I liked the art. The story line was really fun and I liked the progression through the book.

Thanks for a great review of a fun book.

What a thorough review. I enjoyed this book as well but it’s really hard for me to not love Shannon. She lives nearby and I was able to go to her launch party for this book and she’s just so much fun! Glad you liked it.

OK, I love yalls love of this, but I have to say it sounds more than a little bizarre too. It does sound like a highly original way to retell to tale, though. Intrigued, but probably not for me.

*Watch as Rapunzel and her amazing hair team up with Jack…* made me giggle.
