I really liked this book and am encouraging my daughter to consider reading. It was sad at times, but felt good most often. Something about the way the story is conveyed makes you want to read and read and read.
I'm not a big fan of Western style stories, but I like Rapunzel and I thought this was good. It's a very stylized take on the Rapunzel story with an interesting world and an anti-capitalist message? That being said... I don't know it just didn't speak to me in the way that some stories do. Like, it was good and I would recommend it and the romance between her and Jack (as in Jack and the Beanstalk Jack) was super cute and I thought he was a great character butttt IDK it was just fine for me for some reason. I guess I thought Rapunzel was kind of naive and didn't have as much depth as I would like. She was just kind of a good girl determined heroine and I wanted more from her. She just didn't really have any flaws.… (meer)

That is, I totally vibed with Jane's preference for the BBC double-DVD version of Pride and Prejudice. I had a few laugh-out-loud moments while reading, particularly as one woman kept trying heartily to speak in what she seemed to think was Austenese. Or something. And I gradually became more intrigued by the "fantasy vs. reality" theme.
However, Jane is so back-and-forth and wishy-washy during her adventure. Sometimes the narrative itself is a little inconsistent, while at other times it's redundant, making the same points over again.
There's also some innuendo and romantic frolicking that isn't to my particular taste. A few moments (like one of the make-out sessions) would have made me abandon ship as a precaution if I hadn't seen this book recommended on multiple reader/library lists as a gentle read. Meaning, I knew ahead of time that none of the characters' frolicking would lead to a more "adult" level.
Still, with all of the back-and-forth—and then with the "fantasy vs. reality" tension stretching out to the point of overstaying its welcome with me, continuing on during what felt to me like too many endings to the story—I didn't feel fully convinced by the final ending.
But I do appreciate what Jane learns about herself in the ending (or pre-ending) before the two endings that come after it. I might check out the companion novel that follows this one if I'm in the mood for something light and fairly quick with a little Austen inspiration to it. We'll see.… (meer)
