Or how to write a fun, very (sorry, "quite") American take on a traditional fairytale. Some engaging scenes although it was hard to get a handle on any of the characters and it seemed as if (sorry, "like") more budget had been spent on the fabulous cover art than on editing.

Yes, the (DJ) Simon Mayo, or at least his ghostwriter - it was edited well enough for me to suspect extensive rewrites but be still my cynical heart. An intriguing concept, unusually executed, even if it all seemed a little loose plotwise. I only read it because my nine-year-old asked me to vet it but I'd say the violence and complex politics would put it in the 12+ (YA) category.
