Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Jocelyn

I absolutely raced through this bookI couldnt put it down! I hadnt planned on reading the whole thing in one sitting, but thats exactly what I did. The characters, the writing, the uniqueness of the storyI adored it!

Backing up, I should probably tell you what its about, though I could gush for much longer.

When The Wild, the fairy tale world Julies mother, Rapunzel, and the other fairy tale creatures escaped from centuries ago, gets free, Julie loses her mother, her grandmother, and other people she cares about to its never-ending, cruel stories. Julies not going to give up, though; shes determined to save her mother from The Wild once again, to rescue her from endless days trapped in a tower, to rescue her grandmother from being a wicked witch, to rescue the people she cares about. Shes going in, and shes not going to let the Wild find a story for her, if she can help it. Because once shes in the ending of a story, shell forget who she is, and why shes there.

INTO THE WILD is one of the most original fantasy books Ive read in ages. These fairy tales arent what you think they are. Rather than changing a fairy tale like is often done in books, Sarah Beth Durst takes every fairy tale youve ever heard and makes it real, and dangerous. And she does so brilliantly! I cant even find the words Im really looking for to describe how amazing this book is. Run, dont walk to your nearest bookstore or library and get a copy today!
