A small childhood nostalgia trip with this book. It is terribly written and quite frankly rather dull, but I'd ever fully recommend the film.

I read this book as a child. I thought it was a great book.

For a story so magical, the book is really lacking in the magic department. I loved the film, but this has none of the magic and mystery, reading as bland description of what should have been an amazing story.

For a story so magical, the book is really lacking in the magic department. It's giving you the bare minimum of information you need so it came off relatively boring.

Read this book as a child and stumbled upon it just now while looking for a different movie. I can't remember the book but might watch the movie.

Enjoyed reading aloud to my girls but definitely not as magical as the movie!

I was a bit disappointed with this. I loved the film, but this has none of the magic and mystery, reading as bland description of what should have been an amazing story. Maybe it was meant to be a Children's book, as it is set out like one, but I think most of the 'Harry Potter' generation won't find anything of worth in its pages. But that's only my opinion.

The problem was that they DID!"



This book was cute and well written. The only thing about this book is that it makes you wish faries were real. The movie was very cute as well.
