Little Nothing

This story dips and dives into the realms of folklore, fairytales and magical realism. While the beginning of the novel started of very promising the plot line seemed to run away with itself leaving me trudging through a story that no longer gripped me or seemed to be going anywhere. I thought the premise of the novel was too simplistic and the execution of the intermingling fairytale stories didn't merge successfully for me. The ending didn't really make sense to me as I had long since abandoned the effort to give this novel the benefit of the doubt. If you like the layering of fairytales into a wider story and like books that seem to get more strange and far fetched as you read on then this book is for you! But for me all of the ways the characters were connected to each other was too implausible. A 3.5/ 4 star read for me.
