I did not enjoy this book as much as I was hoping too. First off, the artwork was really bad. The poses were stiff and inhuman, and the faces had no emotions. The line art was inconsistent, and the backgrounds were often just a solid colour instead of an interesting scene. The colours also didn’t go well together. The faces also seemed to just be copy pasted, shrunk, and flipped whenever a character was drawn again. I couldn’t focus on the story without finding yet another badly drawn panel. I m...
Pretty disappointing. I didn’t like the art style, and the writing was a little irritating.
so good i really missed all the characters, especially goldie, red and jack and i love how this graphic novel shows their various perspectives and the effects they all have on each other's lives. likewise with all chris colfer books, the ending was super touching and the illustrations were brilliant; sped through this in one seating which is unusual cuz im not usually one for graphic novels so yayayayay
This was my first graphic novel and I really enjoyed it. Fun story, interesting characters and exciting twists on traditional fairy tale characters.
This is a griping, and fast read that expands the world from The Land of Stories novels. Goldilocks was always a character I loved to read about in the original books and getting a whole story focused on her and how she "became" was great. I loved getting to see exactly how she turned into the beloved Goldilocks from the books as well as get some more information on the characters that surrounded and helped her. An unexpected, but interesting inclusion to this graphic novel was the integrated st...
Excellent!!!! The land of stories series by Chris Colfer has intrigued me but I’ve never read it. I love graphic novels so I thought I’d try this one out. I loved seeing Goldilocks in this light!!! Such a great character! I hope Chris Colfer and Jon Proctor do more and make it into a series! Hooray for feminism!
I actually really loved it and it's funny that I found it because I had been recently saying that I regret not reading the land of stories series sooner
I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn’t such a short read. I started it yesterday and I already finished it. But otherwise it was a great read! Goldilocks was always my favorite character and this did not change that. It was enjoyable to read!
So cute and creative! Love the fairy tale references! Definitely adding this to the classroom library!
Another great graphic novel! Another great book by Chris Colfer!
I am a HUGE fan of reinventing the fairy tale world, taking the characters and putting them into a new world. Bill Willingham's Fables series is a favourite, but too adult for the school audience. I have never read one of the Land of Stories series by Chris Colfer (despite it being on my TBR list) but when I saw that there was a graphic novel I had to pick it up.I love the feisty girl power in this book, the redemption story and the power of one person to make a difference. All glory Goldilocks....
*3.5/5 stars!!!This was a cute, quick read! I enjoyed the plot and I love the character of Goldilocks. I also appreciated the ending! However, the art style wasn’t my fave (I liked the colouring though), and it lacked diversity. I also found that the story just flew by, but considering it’s a middle-grade graphic novel, I can’t fault it much for that. Overall, I’m glad I read this and it was entertaining! I’m so proud of Chris Colfer and am a fan of basically everything he writes. It was such a
I loved the Land of Stories and had wanted Chris Colfer to write more books!This was exactly what I was looking for! I highly recommend this book!
2.5/5 StarsI'm really sad about this book. I was so excited about this book because Goldilocks from The Land of Stories novels is one of my favorite characters of all time. I was so ready to read more about her, and see some more of her story. However, this did not live up to my expectations. It was very random and the author made characters that we enjoy in the novels very different. I did like some of the lessons in here, but I was just very bored the entire time. So yeah, very disappointed ab...
After reading and obsessing over Chris Colfer's Land of Stories book series, this was the perfect prequel type book to share Goldilock's story. She has always been one of my favorite characters from his books and it was so great to see her beginning life depicted in the comic style of art. I absolutely loved this super quick read and super recommend it!
Chris Colfer’s Land of Stories began weaving new elements into classic fairy tales since the release of The Wishing Spell in 2012. Now, Colfer teams up with graphic artist Jon Proctor with an origin story starring Goldilocks along with Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty, their husbands/consorts and other fairy tale staples including Rapunzel and Jack (of the beanstalk). There is depth to the story told and readers will have to do much more than simply look at the art panels to follow th...
absouletly loved this graphic novel :) i am yet to read a book from chris colfer that i dont love :) he sucks you into his worlds and they are just so magical :) love love love :)
I loved this book and now want to read The Land of Stories!
Few nitpicky things:1) What was with the art? Cinderella was pregnant half the time, and then the other half, it was as if the artist completely forgot. Don't get me started on the human characters' faces wavered between consistencies either…2) Goldilocks calling herself "damaged goods" - wait, what? Because you were accused of thievery and running from the law? That's not what the phrase means...3) The 3 Charming brothers all conspired against their wives and just got reprimanded? Lame. I'd be
(2.5 stars)This is the first comic book I've read in years and reminded me why I don't usually read comic books. From the comic books that I have read before, I always find that the plot is never as rich as novels. While this book was visually pleasing, I found it lacking in dialogue in comparison to Colfer's novels in the series. I was really excited for this book because I really like the characters that the story followed from the original books, but I just didn't find them as compelling or i...
