Summary: Terrific!
Comment: A poetic, intelligent first-person prose is the first thing I remember about this book. The second is the beautiful characters that really personalize the general fairy-tale princesses. Bella has a beauty-obsessed stepmother who is jealous of Bella's creamy, perfect skin, figure, and jet-black hair. (Does that sound familiar?) She's the rebel of the trio, whereas Alison is the shy one, whose great-aunt made a fuss about not being invited to her christening. Megan's guardian expels her and Simon, her Prince, when she finds that they've been making love in the Tower Room.
Three well-developed characters and a boarding-school atmosphere make this book one that you'll remember years after you finish it.
P.S. I read this book at age 11 (I am 12) and was not "tainted" at all by thr sexual references. It is not too explicit, just implied, and adds intrigue to the story.
Rating: 4
Summary: Romantic
Comment: I loved the romance of this book! This book is not for children 12 and under. Other then that it's great!
Rating: 5
Summary: Oh...for a happy ending...
Comment: A happy, resolved ending is the only thing missing from this book, and I still gave it five stars. Megan is Rapunzel, and she is a beautiful fairy tale. Megan lives in a tower (at her British all-girls school), with no other family in the world, save Sleeping Beauty (Alice) and Snow White (Bella). Megan falls madly in love with Simon and their whirlwind affair costs her almost everything. This is a wonderful book, it is not full of sex, like a few other reviews have suggested. Geras stays faithful to the original story and, like most original versions of fairy tales, sex is involved. I highly recommend this book and the rest of the trilogy, "Watching the Roses" and "Pictures of the Night." Trust me, if you read all three, your happy ending will come. Maybe your prince too...
