so adorable and inspiring, a must-read for all kids.

i think every teenage girl should be required to read this.

a fantastic re-telling of Hansel and Gretel, i love Napoli's re-tellings and this is one of her best ones.

techicnally it's a kids book, but i really enjoyed it and i think anyone of any age would too.

this book made me seriously dpreseed while i was reading it, but it was worth it.

very moving, i highly recommend it.

i loved this book when i was kid. it's pretty hilarious

this was a pretty good book. the writing qualaty wasn't so great, but the story was fantastic and i liked the author's spin on classic myths. she has some interesting ideas.

i love this book! it's amzing, eloquent, compelling... one of my favorites.

I don't know how to begin describing this book other than simply and undeniably beautiful. Greek mythology FLB style. (and since i'm obsessed with both greek mythology and FLB it was extra wonderful for me) She uses the myths of Psyche, Echo, Eurydice and Persephone and intertwines them to create one story about love and the human soul. I flew through it in a coupe of hours and cried when I finished it because I didn't want it to be over. i espessially loved all the classical mythology that it was satuarted with, it was everywhere, all these little allusions interwoven within the more obvious stories (the ones i mentioned before) and since i'm familiar with greek mythology i was able to spot and appreciate these allusions, but even if you don't know a lot about mythology you will still be able to appreciate and moved by this lovely story.
