Just as fun as the series. Though missing one or two things from the show, it's still a fun read. ( )

Really hard to read the novelization totally unbiased since the mini-series is one of my long-time favorites. I mean, I've re-watched it at least twice a year since I first watched it live on NBC 20 years ago... so, yeah. HUGE place in the movie/TV department of my heart.

Pleasantly, the essence, the humor, the characters - it's all there in the book.

But I still love the screen version more. ( )

In the reverse of what is normally true, this is a novelization of the movie The 10th Kingdom (rather than being the book the movie was based on). Much of the dialogue is word for word, but I think I might have a slight preference for the book because my brain makes Wolf MUCH more suave and debonair then the people who made the movie did. I lurve Wolf. =) ( )

The 10th Kingdom is book that is tied to a tv movie that aired in the USA in 2000, under the same name. It is retelling of some fairy tales and what happens after ever after. Probably one of stories that started landslide of retelling of fairy tale movies and books.

I had seen the movie that this book is based on. I love it. I thought the book was going add on to the story or continuation of it. It did not, it is basically a rewrite of the movie but done really well. Since it has been 17 years (Wow!) since the movie aired I pretty much forgot a lot of the movie, so it was like a new story. Still enjoyed it. I also loved that there were pictures of characters in the movie which made it easier to picture the actor as the characters. Love the characters Virginia and Wolf. At first I did not like them as a couple but they grow on you.

I still feel there should be more after the story and wish it was a series. I liked the stories behind the 10th Kingdoms but I do not think we will get more. It’s not the best retelling of fairy tale but it is fun and worthwhile to read or watch if you rather.

I really wish NBC would do more movies like this that they did in the early 2000’s. They were bright, colorful and fanciful. Just my kind of fantasy telling.

It was the first long English book I read, back in 8th grade, a lot of good memories connected with it. I was looking for it since then, having forgotten the name, today I finally found it again. ^^

I remember it was interesting and I liked it, can't say more. I'll order it again and read it again, I think, maybe in German. I'll update this review then. ( )
