DNF at 37%I will rant later ....but just know ....that I don't DNF lightly ... and yet here we are.
A Street Rat becomes a leader. A princess becomes a revolutionary. And readers will never look at the story of Aladdin in the same way againThat is if you havent seen the Disney movie.So we're given a character role reversal in which Jafar is the first to summon the genie however the whole scenario leading up to this moment is virtually the same; Aladdin is tricked into retrieving the lamp by Jafar (disguised as an old beggar) which is located in a stone tiger cave in the desert.Jafar is pretty
My actual rating is 3.5 stars but I rounded up to 4 for a few reasons. 1. Because of how much I enjoyed reading it. Is it a masterpiece of literature? No. But do you know what it is? FUN!2. Because it has an insane amount of bad ratings and reviews. Seriously. Most of the other reviews seem to feel like this about the book: which is fair enough. It's certainly not going to appeal to everyone. However, it is incredibly rare that I am on the side of liking something that everyone else seems to
I want to read this so bad! Aladdin was my life when I was a kid!!Genie, I wish NetGalley would approve my request!UPDATE:Well, I didn't get accepted by Netgalley, but this book also doesn't have great reviews by the people who did read it. Guess I'm lucky that Disney didn't give me a copy, but I'm still kind of bummed. I really wanted to read a good Aladdin retelling. :(
I was so excited to start this book because I loved previous Disney novelisations I had read. This one was crap. Genuinely so disappointed It just didnt have any oomph in it..does that make sense? It told a story that could have been amazing and twisted and shocking but instead it was just so incredibly lacklustre.The characters were never really rounded out into believable people. The story was just this happened, then this, then this.The beginning was the best part as it followed the movie.
Half of my interest is just jumping on the bandwagon.The other half is because of the series title.
