This is a book loaned to me by my co-worker, Joanne. She and I like a lot of the same books so I was excited to read this story which was written by a man who normally writes thrillers but this was a "childrens" book written for older teens and adults. It was the story of a boy that escapes into a land of his imagination that was manufactured from the stories he has read. So, there were a lot of allusions to Grimm's fairy tales and other stories. I liked it but I didn't love it. It was kind of cool that they printed a bunch of the original fairy tales at the end of of the book for comparison.
