The Isle of the Lost
by Melissa de la Cruz
This book didn't really go anywhere. I didn't see the point of having both the 'good island' and the 'bad island' since they didn't ever cross or meet. I was thinking that was where the book was going and it didn't.... A strangely morose tale of the kids of the Disney movie villains and how they have to live in squalor and filth, eating leftover and moldy food. They are slaves to their parents obsessions and are also abused by them. They are not loved and to me that is sad. Having villains be the secondary part of the story and not even having them be likable in any form is a strange experience.
What happens after happily ever after when you lost? An interesting concept but presented in such a strange way. I can't tell if it's the fact that this had to be a Disney backed Disney book that would become a Disney show or what. It was too dark in parts, and at the same time not dark enough, it was odd how the book fluctuated between the two. I'm interested in reading the next book, but I'm going to be getting it from the Library. For girls and boys fifth grade on up who enjoy mixed up fairy tales, or books that are from the perspective of not just the hero.
