Into the Woods (Movie Tie-In Edition) by

Trigger Warnings: Cheating, murder, dark humor & inaccurate use of the word rape
I've owned the play transcription of Into The Woods for about five years now, but I never seemed to find the time to read it. This was one of the three picks I pulled out of my TBR jar for the Clearing The Hoard Bookwyrm Challenge I created. I couldn't pick what book, but this book was mentioned in David Levithan's newest book, 19 Love Songs, so my choice was easy to make.
I first picked this book up right before the movie adaption was released. I was planning on reading it after I saw the movie, but then it sat on my shelf gathering dust. I finally picked up the play script, and I'm glad that I did. I will say, I'm so happy that I saw the movie before I read the script because that meant I was able to see the humor that was present.
This play is not your typical disneyfied fairytale. It's dark, outrageous, and will make you do a double-take at times. I'm glad that I went back and read this script because it brought back the joy and amusement I felt when watching the play.
This play is not going to be for everyone, but if you enjoy the social commentary and dark humor, it might be the perfect fit for you. All in all, I enjoyed it, and I need to make sure to listen to the soundtrack for the thousandth time.
