Audio-Cinderella is not the simple easy going girl of past tales. She has a fire and common sense that will not allow her to fall under a mans rule. Sure, this tales has the evil step mother and a step sister, but all is not as it seems here either. The rats/mice well they are maltese dogs that yap and misbehave. The fairy godmother is a real woman. There is no magic, no mythical beings or pumpkin carriages. The prince is a broke playboy, of course a very handsome one. What romantic tale would work without a handsome prince. There is a castle, beautiful and crumbling. Then there is a real romance, with hurt feelings, pain, lose, hope and love. Bittersweet and realistic.
I enjoyed this version, it was entertaining throughout the book. The narrator was perfect in her reading. I am going to read more in this series.
