It is 'notorious' so I must read it, but I was never particularly excited about picking it up again! :)ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245931629228090133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-56559582010511298912015-11-12T08:26:12.946-08:002015-11-12T08:26:12.946-08:00I quit reading this about half-way through and did...I quit reading this about half-way through and didn't even want to talk about it. It wasn't my thing either. I felt bad with it being for an event though. :/Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-32960778264615802232015-11-10T18:35:04.568-08:002015-11-10T18:35:04.568-08:00Not my thing either.

I remain sad that I don't love Angela Carter as much as some do -- between the fiercely feminist mindset and the fairy-tale retellings, she seems like a perfect fit for me. But I've read two of her books, including this one, and they've both left me cold. :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-32900068569706283852015-11-09T18:47:26.513-08:002015-11-09T18:47:26.513-08:00You're right, this book has gotten a lot of fa...You're right, this book has gotten a lot of fantastic cover art! And the Folio edition is gorgeous. I like the art more than a lot of the stories, to be honest. But like you, I'm glad to have read the collection just to know why it's so notorious.
