I've just started said book, it is both sinister and amusing. I would recommend this for Terry Pratchett fans and fans of Lewis Carroll work. It has tones of the style of Frances hodgson brunetter (writer of the 'secret garden' and 'the little princess') in the fantasy style and could be seen as quite 'Nania'-ee.
Aimed more so at the teen audience, as some adults may find the fiction too juvenile. John Connolly writes the tail of a young boy suffering from the loss of his mother and the change in family life with a crooked twist.
It distorts the old fairy tales in both a disturbing and thoughtful way.
I am only on chapter 19 (X1X) so if any have read this before me please don't ruin the ending for me ^ ^
