Un capolavoro del grande Stephen King, uno dei suoi migliori lavori.

As the title says it's a story like a fairy tale about a young men entering into a hidden world. Well written, but an ok story.

He leído la versión en inglés para Kindle, buen libro del maestro del terror. El principio algo lento, pero la historia recobra fuerza y vale la pena.

Oh boy, where do I start with this one? From the very first page this story pulled me in and never let me go. I’ve been reading Stephen King novels for well over 30 years and just love his style of writing, his character building, and his imaginative plot-lines. Some potential readers of this book may wrongly assume this is a retelling of traditional fairy tales (along the lines of Philip Pullman’s Grimm Tales) but they would be wrong. Yes, there’s a nod to characters such as Rumplestiltskin, but this really is an original story that revolves around Charlie, a seventeen year old student who gets the opportunity to enter a portal to another world - a place that just happens to have a ‘fairy tale’ feel to it, albeit with adult themes running throughout the storyline.As I’ve come to expect from Mr King, I didn’t quite know where this tale of his was going to take me, it certainly introduced me to some VERY weird, often grotesque, individuals, and the central character of Charlie found himself in all sorts of strange, dangerous and terrifying situations. I absolutely loved this book, which is why I found it difficult to put it down. In my humble opinion, for sheer escapism this book will take some beating. It had everything I could ask for from a King novel, it’s a superb, page-turner for sure, and it’s filled with intrigue, mystery, brilliant imagery, adventure, horror, poignant moments, and interspersed throughout with the author’s trademark humour. If you’re looking for a book to get lost in, then treat yourself to a copy of ‘Fairy Tale’ because I can highly recommend it. 👍📖 + 📚 = 😊

In October, I only read one book, and that's Stephen King's "Fairy Tale." 600 pages divided into 32 chapters and an epilogue, each chapter with a beautifully detailed drawing by Gabriel Rodríguez and Nicolas Delort alternately, and each chapter title is a summary of some of the things you will encounter in it.This is Stephen King at his best. "Fairy Tale" starts as an everyday story, a modern novel. A teenage boy helps an old man who has fallen from a ladder. He takes care of his dog, does some chores around the house, helps with rehabilitation... But it wouldn't be a typical Stephen King story if nothing out of the ordinary happened. That's why I didn't like his last book, "Billy Summers," that much. The extraordinary was not there.Charlie Reade, the teenage boy, is the one who tells the story in later life. So we see everything from his perspective. He takes us on a journey through a fairytale world filled with things familiar to us but just a little bit different. This world reminded me of Mid-World from the "Dark Tower" books all the time; there are some similarities, but King himself regularly makes it clear that it is a different world after all.Sometimes King explains a little too much. He does not let us make the connections ourselves with the fairy tales from our youth, but always wants to make the comparisons clear himself, as if he is afraid that we will not understand his intention. Another trait of King is that he often repeats certain words in his books to show how the locals pronounce them, how their dialect uses different sounds to make the word sound different; he does it again here, but a variation of it.But these negatives don't take away from what a fantastic adventure story this is, with quite a bit of fantasy mixed in, and a little bit of horror. I really enjoyed it and made me want to re-read some of King's books; as if my reading pile wasn't big enough already...

I remember ordering the book with such an excitement. When it arrived the next day, I was so happy to read what King's mind had created during this past two weird years.Unfortunately I got utterly disappointed.I've been reading King for quite some time now and I've read much of his early works. Many I loved, some I just liked, a few where a waste of my time.Starting to read this book, it takes off nice enough, describing the author's life and experiences (the book is written on the first person as a memoir). But unfortunately it's a story as old as King himself, it lacks, in my opinion always, any depth or a real feel.Throughout the book we have to be constantly reminded of how good of a person the hero is, despite his tough upbringing and many difficulties he had to face in life even though he's just seventeen years of age. Which would be okay if I had connected to the character even a bit. Also there's in almost every page a description of his physical appearance. I think that at some point King realized, that he was writing an early script for the next Netflix series.Which brings me to this.The writing is so easy, the plot is so predictable and the book is filled with Pop culture references. Some names are references to stupid blockbuster movies. Here and there he references other authors, which he often does to give credit to his main influences. But my main problem is that the whole book is kind of a bad re-telling of the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, which of course he points out, but he's Stephen King, do he really needs it? I guess yes, it'll be easier to sell to Netflix and its viewers.Lastly, I dislike pretty much any book, movie or series that tells the story of the great and powerful foreign Prince that saves the day and whole land. Unwillingly becomes a great warrior and killer that everyone loves and respects. I could continue on and on and on but I'll finish here.If you took the time to read my review, remember that it's only my opinion.Thank you.

Charles Reade lebt im kleinen Ort Sentry, ist ganz gut in der Schule und in den Mannschaftssportarten eine gefragte Person. Er hat einige schwere Jahre durchlebt, nachdem sein Vater nach dem Unfalltod seiner Mutter dem Alkoholismus verfallen war und den Job verlor. Gerade noch rechtzeitig bekam er die Kurve, bevor die beiden obdachlos wurden.Eines Tages hört Charlie von einem verufenen Grundstück lautes Gebell und dann Hilferufe. Der ziemlich alte Eigebrötler, dem das Haus gehört, ist beim Versuch die Regenrinne zu reinigen von der Leiter gestürzt und hat sich ein Bein gebrochen.In der Folge beginnt Charles sich um das Haus und die ältliche Hündin des Mannes zu kümmern - und dann auch um ihn selbst, als dieser aus dem Krankenhaus zurück kommt. Dabei erfährt er einige erstaunliche Geheimnisse aus dem Leben dieses Mannes. Doch das größte Geheimnis findet sich im Gartenschuppen des Grundstücks, der immer gut verschlossen ist.Stephen King hat so die Eigenart, eine Geschichte mit einem langen Anlauf einzuleiten, bevor es richtig zur Sache geht, wobei dieser Vorlauf - wie auch hier - oft sehr interessant geschrieben ist und viele Informationen gibt, die später von Bedeutung sind.Tatsächlich kommt es dann in der anderen Welt - inspiriert durch klassische Märchen, 'Die unendliche Geschichte' und 'Oz' - trotz vieler Abenteuer zu einigen erzählerischen Längen, was ein wenig entäuschend gewesen ist. Trotzdem mal wieder eine sagehafte Erzählung aus der Tastatur des Meistererzählers.
