Rating:  Summary: Very Nice Review: I really liked this book. It follows the movie pretty closely, with some changes that only improve on the plot. It is a rather long book, but I never got bored while reading it. This is a great story for persons of all ages and for people who like all types of books. There's something about the written word that just makes a story more magical than a movie could ever be. If you haven't seen the movie, the plot is something like this:Virginia and her father live near Central Park in New York. Virginia is a waitress at the Grill on the Green, and her father is a handyman in the building where they live. Their lives are normal and somewhat monotonous until the Dog formerly known as Prince steps in, and suddenly everything has gone haywire. Virginia and Tony find themselves in an enchanted kingdom where bumbling trolls, evil stepmothers, and terrifying huntsmen are the least of their troubles. This book is full to the brim of action, adventure, and romance. Try reading it, you won't regret it.

Rating:  Summary: The Tenth Kingdom: A Journey To All Of Your Dreams Review: I have seen the mini-series, and now I will read the book. I thought that the mini-series was terrific. It had great special effects, and all of your "dreams" or "fairytails" came true! I liked the movie so much, I just had to go out and buy the book! You did a great job! Go buy this book today!
Rating:  Summary: ~*My Favorite Fairytale! *~ Review: I absolutely loved this book! It was sooo awesome! I really didn't have a favorite fairytale before this, but now I do! The mini-series that's out now is just as great. The character Wolf is sooo cute and his personality is fab! To tell you the truth...that's one of the main reasons that I fell in love with this story from the start. Also, the beginning song "Wish Upon A Star" is BEAUTIFUL! Keep in mind however that reviews are subjective and what I think is fab you may think is awful...if you don't like fairytales (like I ALWAYS have), then don't buy this book...seeing as how you found the title in the first place though, you must like them somewhat! :-)
Rating:  Summary: The 10th Kingdom Review: I haven't yet finished this book, but it is so good. I literally stay up hours into the night reading it after I do my schoolwork, until it hurts my eyes to read more.
Rating:  Summary: Review Review: I'v seen the tv show, and it just blew me away! I cant wait to pick up my copy of the book! why? Because I love fairytails, and I love the romace that comes from this story, I really love Prince!
Rating:  Summary: The Best Collection of Fairytales around Review: This book was wonderful. The plot was great, and I would definately recomend watching the miniseries, as I am doing. The books use of characters and fairytales make this even more enjoyable for adults. Could have been written out more clearly, otherwise a great buy!
Rating:  Summary: Excellent! Review: After starting several books and putting them back down in boredom -I picked up The Tenth Kingdom. I had seen the advertisement for the mini-series and I figured I would give the book a chance. I was concerned because I just had 10 days to finish it before the mini-series started. But I had no need to worry - I finished it in 3 days! Simply put, this book is just a wonderful story! It's akin to the Harry Potter series, just a great story that the whole family can enjoy! I told my teenager daughter, who hates to read, that she had to read this story. After convincing her to give it a 3 chapter "trial run" she is now halfway through the book and I can't get her to put it down. She loves the story too! The mini-series has started, and as usual, TV is never as good as the book that inspired it. So, even if you saw the mini-series, don't let that stop you from reading this timeless fairy tale book also!
Rating:  Summary: An amazing, extremely well-written fantasy! Review: I heard about the mini-series on NBC in late February, "The 10th Kingdom," and I was very excited about it, although I did not know much more than it would be an unconventional version of old fairytales set in modern New York City. Talk about unusual...Camryn Manheim will be playing Snow White. Anyway, I saw this book and I immediately picked it up and started reading it. And I was amazed how well it was written. Usually movie novelizations are just the script written out with sketchy or not great writing, but without having seen this movie yet, the story gripped me and the language was terrific. The story is so much more than just a blending of different fairy tales...Also, it is not a children's book...It is an adult fantasy using images from children's literature...I read this almost 500 page book in 2 days...I could not put it down. It was that good. Hopefully the movie will be this good when it airs on February 27th.
