Snow White and the Huntsman

by Evan Daugherty, John Lee Hancock, and Hossein Amini

I have been looking forward to this film for a while and when I discovered there was a novelization that I should give it a whirl. This is my first read from the Poppy imprint of Hachette Book Group but I'd come back for more. Tonight I was able to turn the last few pages and finish this book and while it did not take incredibly long to read in less than a handful of sessions I am greatly looking forward to the movie even more now. It is a good thing on my timing to finish it as my Enginerd brought home the DVD today.

I was curious about what to expect in "another" Snow White tale. As we have Once Upon a Time on TV and then also the film Mirror Mirror. What I found was that the TV show is an interesting drama and Mirror Mirror was a comedy. Snow White & the Huntsman is action and drama perhaps with a quirk of personality humorous within to repreive from the dark. It is dark and perhaps challenging. Much with a take from The Count of Monte Cristo it seems the impossible is made to happen in an imprisonment, yet it is the mental imprisionments that seem to be just as strong of a chain as the physical.

While I wouldn't fall this an incredible novel to pour over, it does draw a good picture and I cannot wait to watch the film. I definitely was surprised by certain turns of events and think things worked out in an intriguing way. It is Snow White in a classic legend of a fairy tale but it is unique at that. While there is no birdseed and a carriage at the end I am curious about the possibility left open for a sequel. Although I haven't a clue as to what could happen next ...
