I just couldn't get into them. Some were familiar, and that was sweet, while others were new and therefore mildly interesting. But I never felt like reading them, even as a little something short and easy before bed. The book itself I'll keep, it's gorgeous and very high quality, and who knows when it might be needed as a reference.
The most interesting thing about The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales is just how bloody and violent they are. The Walt Disney tales of Snow White, Cinderella or Little Red Riding Hood we grew up with are a far cry from the originals. Taken in moderation these tales might have been interesting but when I start a book I always finish it, which meant reading all 251 of the tales. And sadly, after just a short time, they became overly repetitive, completely predictable, and quite frankly, really boring. ( )
