Out of the Wild is another great sequel that does what good sequels should do: it turns the assumptions from the first story upside-down, and provides a new and fresh perspective. This is a fresh and fun sequel that’s every bit as good as the original, maybe better. Read my entire review. Julie Marchen saved the day in Into the Wild, keeping the Wild from taking over her hometown. The Wild is confined back under Julie's bed, and most of the townspeople are recovering from being forcibly shanghaied into endlessly repeating sequences from traditional fairy tales. But Julie still isn't sure she made the right decision - after all, her wish also sentence her father the Prince to remain in the Wild. But now something's happened - the Wild has spit her father out, and the recovered Prince does not seem to be coping well with the 21st century. He's off to rescue a princess, and if Julie doesn't stop him the Wild will take over not just her town, but the world... for all eternity. Fast and furious action, but a bit jumbled in places. Reviewed by Carrie Spellman for TeensReadToo.com Life is starting to get back to what Julie Marchen is used to. The Wild is safely contained and back under her bed. Most of the fairytale characters, and the humans who took their places for a time, seem to be readjusting as well as can be expected. Until everything changes. While attempting to escape from Puss and Boots, one of the Three Blind Mice gets sucked into The Wild, and Julie and her mother expect the worst. Instead of growing larger, The Wild spits out Julie's dad! Julie is thrilled and her mother is just plain shocked. Everything will be perfect now! Except for her dad constantly running out to rescue damsels in distress, and his inability to function under the radar in the regular world, and his refusal to trust Julie's grandmother. (So what if she used to be evil? She's not anymore!) Apparently there's a difference between choosing to escape from The Wild and being forcibly removed from it. And it's beginning to seem like The Wild knew what it was doing. Every time Prince, the name Julie's dad chose for himself, performs a fairytale-like act (which would be just about everything he does), The Wild grows. Now it's up to Julie and some strange, some new, mostly completely unexpected friends to save the world. Again. I loved this book even more than the last title, INTO THE WILD! This one is non-stop from page one. I felt almost breathless reading it! And nearly as exhausted at the end as I imagine Julie was. As unreal, and hilarious, as pretty much all of the situations are, you still feel like you're right there experiencing all of it. Happily ever after is a dangerous concept. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Anyway, if you like the first one you'll probably like this one. It's cute, and not entirely horrible. I did enjoy reading it, I really did. Just not as much as, say, James Riley's Half Upon a Time series.
Oh, and she tried to throw in some romance. That was just ridiculous, that stupid teen angst "gosh he's so hot!" stuff that just makes me roll my eyes. So. Obviously. A plot device. 'Cause every fairy tale has to have a happily ever after involving a hot guy, right? ( )
