I made it to present day (I liked the gingerbread house creepiness lol) but then lost interest. Maybe I should pick it up again and see if it gets better for me.

I was going to read this someday, anyway, but now I'm curious about how this fairy tale gets changed so radically from the original. Beastly is really good, so I do have faith that I'll like Alex Flinn's other novels.

I just got Cloaked on the cheap, too, but I don't know when I'll get to it. And, dude, I have a great Pettyfer radar, too. I still can't believe he's not going to be Jace. :C Anyway, I think your assessment is apt...Alex Flinn writes funny, cute stories that reluctant readers will get a lot of enjoyment out of. And maybe they'll take something away from the lessens, too. :)starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-63818306133895853912012-02-10T05:59:52.322-08:002012-02-10T05:59:52.322-08:00I just bought Cloaked by Alex Flinn for my nook.
