When I picked it up,the first couple of pages didn't grab me.I didn't understand why the author brings himself to the story.All the time I was saying to myself:"why are you reading this if you don't like it."The answer was this:"All the people say it is great and you have to read it."Now I am very happy that I didn't give up and read it and must admit that it is great.

after 3 years on my TBR Shelf, I purchased a copy of this book( bargain price of $5).A further 2 years later, I discover this book on my bookshelf at home. waiting, just wanting to be read.so for the new year I thought I'd not only read it , but I'd savour it as It had been waiting for so long to be read.and I don't regret reading this book for a minute. if you have ever seen the movie there are very subtle differences but the classic essentially remains the same. either that or I just need to watch the movie again.the only thing I regret about this book is the 5 years wasted not reading the darn thing!!

Mich hat das Buch "Die Brautprinzessin" ein wenig irritiert.Es gab eine Geschichte in der Geschichte und immer mal wieder Kommentare des Autors und so einen wirklich roten Faden habe ich nicht gefunden.Ich fand die Hauptgeschichte irgendwie so kurz und komisch eingebettet und umgeben von einer Menge langatmigen Szenen, die es mir schwer gemacht haben, wieder und wieder zum Buch zu greifen.Dabei bin ich eigentlich ein totaler Märchenfan und so ganz erklären, warum mich diese Geschichte nicht so gepackt hat und auch nicht wirklich begeistert hat, kann ich nicht,Der Klappentext klang so gut und auch die Pressestimmen, aber es hat mich einfach nicht mitgerissen
