Timeless Kiss

For the first day of August I chose to blog this book, well not really chose because it is way overdue already, finished reading it some time ago, but because of hectic schedule and sudden shift of my time, I wasn’t able to write about it.

I came across this book because of Beastly, I watched the film first because (ok fine,I’ll admit it, I’m a Hudgens fan, what? What’s wrong with that?) then a friend of mine told me to read the Beastly book, so I did, but that will be another blog entry (hopefully).

Just from the title I knew it was Sleeping Beauty’s story. “A Kiss in Time” who wouldn’t guess that? But I liked the fact that Alex Finn rewrote these classic fairy tales relived it in the modern times, how else are we going to relate to this? What I didn’t anticipate is our young heroine’s bratty character, well if you’re beautiful and a princess you couldn’t help but be that, besides nobody’s perfect.
On the other hand our young lad in the story is different from the knight in shining armour character, a problem child but has a lot of talent only not given a chance for it to be put into use. He is innovative and reasonable, street smart just like modern prince should be.

I like “A Kiss in Time” because it is funny, it is not dragging, it is modern but still have the classic feel of the original fairy tale. Kudos to Miss Finn for bringing our fairy tales and retelling it to the children of Xbox and playstation. Making it timeless.
