Book Review: 8-The Previously Untlod Story of the Previously Unknown 8th Dwarf


Today's review is on 8: The Previously Untold Story of the Previously Unknown 8th Dwarf by Michael Mullin

As Mullin states in this book, many tales that have been spun by authors such as The Brothers Grimm, have been altered through the years to provide the elusive Happily Ever After.  Truth be told however, not everyone gets that happy ending.  Nor does good always triumph over evil.  That is just one reason why I really enjoyed 8.

Written with the prose of a seasoned rhymer, 8 is filled with witty sarcasm that flows effortlessly from one sentence to the next.  (If you can read this book without a smile on your face, I would be very surprised.)

What really happened to Snow White?  In 8 you're given an even more plausible rendition; than that of Walt Disney, with the help of the unknown 8th dwarf.

Quick witted and all around cute, I love this dark take on this well loved tale.  But what happened to the 8th dwarf in the end?  Give me just one more page to let me know.
