Book Rating (1-5 Stars): When I first started reading it, I don't think I was in the right frame of mind, so I quickly gave up on it after about 3 pages. But then, one day, I got back into it, and I would say despite the ending, I would give it 4 stars :)
Setting of the Book: The setting of the book WAS a book. Isn't that CRAY?!?!?!
About the Author: Her name is Aya Ling, and that's pretty much all I was able to get from her website. She has no "About Me" section, but she does have a blog, so there might be some info on that, but I don't have the time or inclination to browse.
Plot of the book in one sentence: Kat gets transported from modern-day to INSIDE OF the story of Cinderella - with a twist. The only way she can escape the book is if she helps the heroine fall in love with the prince & vice-versa. The only problem is - Kat has replaced one of the ugly stepsisters, and the prince has shown her more interest than Cinderella. What's a girl to do?
If I Could Rename the Book: I wouldn't - I love the title. It hooked me right from the start.
Genre: YA Fiction
Point of View: Told exclusively from Kat's POV - 1st person
Favorite Character: Probably Kat. She can be a little melodramatic at times, but she's also really funny.
Least Favorite Character: Kat's "sister" in the book. She's a real piece of work.
Other (Main Characters): The prince, Cinderella, and the prince's cousin (can't remember his name)
If the Book was made into a movie, who would play the main characters?
Kat - would be played by Jennifer Stone (Harper from "Wizards of Waverly Place") because I like her.
The prince - would be played by Gregg Sulkin (Mason from "Wizards of Waverly Place") because he just seems like he would be a great prince
Cinderella - would be played by Elle Fanning because I think she's beautiful, but also pulls off the humble servant-girl look really well (in a good way)
The prince's cousin - would be played by Brant Daugherty because he's gorgeous - although I'm not sold on this pick, because in my mind, the prince's cousin is a little more bookish.
Kat's "sister" in the book - would be played by Janel Parrish (I'm gonna be honest, I've never seen her act, but she's beautiful while also seeming like she would play a really good mean girl.)
Kat's "mother" in the book - would be played by Nia Peeples (Because she looks like she'd be related to the girl playing Kat's sister.)
Favorite Scene of the Book: When Kat accompanies one of her friends to a neighboring town to be a witness in her elopement wedding ceremony.
Least Favorite Scene of the Book: Honestly, the end. Didn't love it. UNTIL I REALIZED this is the first book in a series!!!! Holler!!!!
Favorite Quote in the Book: I got nothing. I really should pay more attention to this.
Did I like the Ending? See the answer to two questions ago
Which of my friends could I see loving this book? I think my sister, Sara, would like it
Which of my friends could I see hating this book? I know I'm not friends with this person, but I think Martin Luther probably wouldn't appreciate a book like this very much.
This book left me feeling: Dissatisfied (but now that I know there's a sequel - KA-CHING!)
How Long Did It Take Me to Read It: I honestly couldn't put it down. Even though I had to a few times. I INHALED THIS THING.
Martin Luther. Stop it. I died.
ReplyDeleteAnd I actually knew who most of the actors you chose for them were this time! Go me!
