This is very different from what I expected of Stephen King and I loved it!! I enjoyed the little bits of fairy tale lore laced throughout the story and the dollops of King’s world mentioned too. It was a fun story to listen to and a great twist on fairy tales in a very Stephen King way!

Lots of fun to read, though it took a while to get to the action. Loved the relationship between Charlie and Howard as well as Charlie and his dad. Jam packed and adventurous and a really awesome princess too.
