Story Time: 'Some Kind Of Fairy Tale' by Graham Joyce

Some Kind of Fairy Tale, Graham Joyce
Probably better than the Bible
Executive Summary: This book 100% DOES NOT SUCK!

Full report: Some kind of fairy tale? More like some kind of what the actual fuck, AMIRITE?!

There's this family on Christmas right, and this fucking girl turns up and it's only just their daughter that disappeared twenty years ago! Only she looks the same age and she reckons she's been away with the fairies but this is fucking real life isn't it, so where has she really been? And they do tests and take her to a psychiatrist and stuff to try and figure out where she's been and you're kinda hoping this isn't real life and she has been away with the fairies because if she hasn't, well, she's probably been in a dirty sex dungeon or something and no-one wants that, do they? 

The book is not so much a fairytale as it is a tale about what happens AFTER a fairytale. It's asking things like, how do we closed minded fucktards deal with something so monumental? How can this poor chick get on alright in our shitty grey reality now with no-one believing where she's been, or even believing she believes she's been where she says she's been, if in deed she has even been where she says she's been? It's a proper mind-fuck.

To be honest, this is easily the best book I have read in ages! If you like fantasy, but feel like you're a bit too grown up for it now that it's all about teenage vampires and werewolves then this is the book for you. Seriously wonderful shit, can't stress enough how fucking magical and clever and beautiful it is! 

Verdict: Read it. READ IT! READ IT!!!
