Find all of my reviews at:
EVERY STAR THERE IS TO STAR!!!!!!
Yeah, a little bit. It’s also the best book in the history of ever.
Sure it has a little kissing
but it also has pirates
and bad guys
and swordsmen
and giants
and R.O.U.S.es
I’m not writing a synopsis. I’m not writing a review. I’m just telling you if you have not already read it, read it now.
You ask: “What if I don’t like it????� INCONCEIVABLE!
If you read it, hate it, and have the desire to 1 Star it or say bad things, you should probably unfriend me first. I might be inclined to light your ass up. Just kidding. Maybe.

“Come my love, I'll tell you a tale
Of a boy and girl and their love story
And how he loved her oh so much
And all the charms she did possess
Now this did happen once upon a time
When things were not so complex
And how he worshipped the ground she walked
And when he looked in her eyes he became obsessed
This love was stronger than the powers so dark
A prince could have within his kingdom
His spells to weak and steal a heart
Within her breast but only sleeping
He said "Don't you know I love you oh so much
And lay my heart at the foot of your dress?"
She said "Don't you know that storybook love's
Always have a happy ending?"
Then he swooped her up just like in the books
And on his stallion they rode away
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel"

I was wondering about this the last time I watched the movie. Good to know I'm not the only one, lol.

I just meant I don't have this version and didn't pay attention to which button I clicked way back when I added this book to my "read" pile. I know I started with an abridged/movie version (a/k/a dumbed down for people who don't like to read) and was pleasantly surprised to find out years later there was a version with like 100 more pages to the story.

You're not supposed to reveal that. That's the whole point. Oh man ...

And that's what comes of watching movies and then reading books afterward.
