And they’re not even bright! They’re dull, lackluster, lifeless stars.
So... you can probably tell, I’m feeling some real angst here. This reallllllly grinds my gears.
I don’t know if I’ve ever even given a 2 star or less review; there’s a first time for everything! I really struggled between 1 & 2 stars here. So 1.5 it is, and I rounded up, on my GR rating, because, well... the original story is by Neil Gaiman after all.
We need half stars, badly!
When I finished reading this I literally was like, what in the fuck did I just read? Surely not the interesting adaptation I was anticipating, I’ll tell you what!
THIS is nothing compared to the original story; totally butchered. So much potential down the freakin’ drain. I HATE giving negative reviews but I... just couldn’t make light of what I feel about this.
[ *I did like the art a bit though. Which is why it received 1 star.
(Yay a little bit of positivity! I’m not a complete monster 😉)
*The other (generously given) .5 star is for the tale being originally penned by Neil Gaiman; though that is pretty inconsequential here, as it was put in the garbage disposal and then taken back out again and slathered back onto the pages... my gosh I am being so harsh, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen this dark side of me, let alone on GR, haha]
Read at your own risk, folks.
I never say that I don’t recommend a book, because everyone has different tastes, & I am a firm believer that every book deserves a chance.
But if there were ever a time I wouldn’t...
Yeah.
