Title: That Was...Underwhelming
Product review: I'm not sure I understand what everyone saw that was so great about this book. I practically had to school myself to read a chapter every night. The plot moved at a snail's pace, and the constant references to how perfectly perfect the Cinderella character was grated on me after a while. I get it already! She's gorgeous! As for the story itself, I kept waiting for something to happen...but nothing did. Until the end that is, when we get that huge "twist" that no one but me saw coming a mile away. I am usually a fan of fantasy and science fiction, but I found the references to the supernatural in this book to not fit somehow. They didn't really add anything to the plot (except for the obligatory "tension" for our narrator and "depth" for the pretty girl), and took away from whatever action was already going on. The only thing keeping me from giving this book one star is the characters Schoonmaker and Caspar, who are the only ones I enjoyed through the entire book.
