Recensioner

I've never read The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I picked this book up because I've enjoyed other works by Gregory Maguire and this seemed like a quick read, which is what I was in search of at the time. I wasn't disappointed at all. The story itself is fascinating and makes you want to keep reading. It is one of those stories that awakens gratitude (or at least it should!). It was equal parts entertaining and heartbreaking.

A very psychological tail.Creepy here and there with the intentional flavor of a Victorian ghost story. I felt the tie-ins to Scrooge worked well, but that the Peter Pan and Alice in wonderland ones felt somewhat forced.

If I could, I would give this less than 1 star. It was really a disgusting, confusing book. I picked it up because I love the musical; the name is the only thing this has in common with that. The only reason I even finished it (& still have it) because finishing books is a personal rule of mine. I still have my copy because I am totally against trashing or burning books, but it's so disgusting I would never pass it on to anyone else.

Have tried reading this twice now and it's just not grabbing me at all. Probably the transphobia.
