Summary: cute idea, but irritating characters & choppy writing
Comment: don't let the cover description suck you in -- this author has wasted a fun premise on 354 pages of moronic schtick and undigestible characters. there's a few -- very few -- promising moments, but not worth the wade through the morass of etc.
Rating: 5
Summary: Reader from Midwest
Comment: Ms. Altom has written a delightfully, funny book based on a fairy tale. This fairy tale has a twist with a wonderfully sexy hero who many women would like to find by their pond.

Summary: Not Worth the Price!
Comment: Sorry guys, but I found this book to be very boring and very unrealistic!
Lucy is a total wimp who seems to spend all her time trying to become something she is not just to please a father who no one could please. She is supposedly this very smart scientist, but can't seem to accomplish the necessary research to back up her great "frog find". Then, after kissing this "frog" and turning him back into a Prince, she spends several days with the naked Prince Wolfe swaggering around her cottage trying to get her in bed (with her "almost" fiancée drifting in and out) before she thinks to get him some clothes! In the meantime, Lucy spends a lot of time either fending Wolf off, thinking he is crazy as a loon, melting whenever he touches her or trying to get her "fiancée" to pop the question!
Prince Wolfe is a swaggering, egotistical man who seems to think every woman he meets is only out to get his body. He also seems to think that after 1,000 years as a frog he is still king of all he surveys, even though he seems to have a pretty good grasp of current times (all that eaves dropping on visitors to his ponds). He does have his good points and in the end turns out to be an okay guy, but through most of the book he is just too unrealistic to believe.
And to top it off her fiancée is just so dumb and gullable you have to wonder why anyone would want to marry him. With Wolfe in the background yelling "Wench bring me food", he believes Lucy's tale about "recording a TV program". And that is just one incident of many before he gets a clue that all is not right with the woman he "has feelings for" (but can't get seem to get around to asking to marry)!
I just found the characters to be too unrealistic, naïve, and unbelievable!
