BooK : Fairest [YA]


Title
: Fairest
Author : Gail Carson Levine [Wiki | Harper Collins Children's]
Target Audience : Young Adults
Info : Amazon.com | Knoxnews.com | Wiki
Based on : Snow White [Wiki]
Rating :

Sorry to disappoint you but I couldn't find neither e-book nor audiobook for this title which drove me mad & alas I have to order from Kinokuniya & waited half a month to finally flip the pages. The ending is kinda happily ever after but not the usual kind that you'll expect. True... external beauty is ephemeral, short-lived, skin deep... beauty differs for everyone, as the saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", how very true that is even for me....& the prince o_O woops. Anywayz, this book is not bad, I would even say it's a good read & I got to know more bout Western European women's clothing. =p

You might wonder why the heck is she always reading all these books meant for teen/young adults bla bla... well I love fairy tales and reading em makes me happy! ^^ & I'm a kid at heartz!

I don't hate books... as a matter of fact I could even say that I love em but the problem is I can't find a good enough time or setting for me to actually sit down & savour the feeling of being immerse in reading a good book. I love hearing to the audiobook of this one! Worth the hassle of downloading em I'd say... Not gonna put any review watsoever, you can find that from the linkies above! :D This is for all you retelling-of-fairy-tale lovers out there!
