Rating:  Summary: Amazing Review: When Jessica is born, and her mother dies during labor, her father, the duke of a tiny Welsh estate, rejects her at first sight, and leaves her for the servants to take care of. Years later, Jessica, now a young adult, with an evil stepmother, finds only tiny animals, and a servant boy to keep as friends. But when she finds that her stepmother is trying to cause harm to her, Jessica (now known as Snow, due to the paleness of her skin), flees the Welsh estate, and finds refuge in London with a band of outcast mutants, who are half animal, half human.From page 1, SNOW was an amazingly entertaining story, with twists and turns at every corner. Lynn did a fantastic job in creating a remake of the original "Snow White" story, in her own words. A must-have book for all who love a nice happy ending. Erika Sorocco
Rating:  Summary: I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Review: Wow! Who would have thought fairly tales could be this fun! Snow is an altered conceptualization of the Snow White myth. Jessica, a young girl has a stepmother move in - and the woman brings a large mirror that she likes to gaze into. Oh, did I mention she was a wicked stepmother. (Is there any other kind?) It doesn't take long for the trouble to begin and true to the story a huntsman is called to dispatch the girl. A slight variation on the dwarves is that they are not miners per se. They are all disfigured "monsters" - one is a cat-woman, another a rat-man and so forth... and they are pickpockets and thieves who "mine" the pockets of the unsuspecting in the town. They are really a great bunch and I wish there would be a sequel with them. This book is short but there is a great deal of fun in its pages. I plan on buying other books in this new genre of adapted fairly tales.
Buy this book - it doesn't matter your age - after all, who doesn't love a good bed time story?
Rating:  Summary: SOOO good!!! A definite read! Review: You should definitely consider reading this book! It is one of the best in the series. However, it doesn't much resemble the traditional "Snow White." (that doesn't matter to me, since I never really liked "Snow white" anyway) If you're looking for a great, modernized fairy tale, this is the book for you! It has the best characters and a good plot!
