I needed a new book to listen to. I find it easier to listen to stories I'm generally familiar with. A retelling of Aladdin? ok I'm game.
listening to book
groans
If I had a paper copy, I'd skim to find the point. There's not much I can say that others haven't already said. It's 1/4 exact movie description, 3/4 bad fanfiction. The characters are one dimensional, and it's clearly written by someone who isn't middle eastern.
A dark and twisted take on the Disney version of Aladdin. A lot better than the first book in the series, “Once Upon A Dream”. Very enjoyable!
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. xD
I did enjoy it. It was quite refreshing to see how the story could go if Jafar got the lamp.
Eh
I came into this book trying to forget everything about the movie but at times the book is so out there and different it forces you to think about the movie and compare the differences
