Once Upon a Dream: A Twisted Tale

Classic Sleeping Beauty Twisted Tale: Once Upon A Dream. Paperback book. Tag: What if the Sleeping Beauty never woke up? Part of the Disney Classic: What if...Twisted Tale ongoing series. Each novel are a stand alone. No need or pressure reading them in order. This Sleeping Beauty retelling in a twist, came in the mail as expected. Perfectly well packed in box, with NO: cracks, bumps, dents, scratches, tears, bents, or any damage. I feel bad for those who did receive copies in bad shape. Visulalised in photos, my copy DID INFACT come Brand New factory shelf condition with strong page binding, & covers. Highly recommend buying books with 1 or more extra items; to receive books inside boxes instead of the bubble/ paper mailers. I love the Classic movie, classic original German Tale, & Disney classic story. I enjoyed this twist of the classic with a open mind. This book will Keep your attention in every chapter with twists and turns. Definitely a reread. Each main character have their own growth and development. Obviously the main 4 people focused are: Arura: Brurore Rose, Prince Phillip, Malisvent: villain & 3 good fairies. Main plot: After the chrissing: Twist Tale begins. The ultimate reality is: Aroura's Dream world inside her mind. When Philip kisses her, he too gets put in Aroura's dream world to help her wale up and achieve the quest she's on. Not as easy you may think. Aroura & Philip are put to tests, and Malisvent is constantly controlling every little thing of this odd dream wofld. We know Good always concers evil. You will explore: depression, danger, mystery, action, romance, and adventure all in one book. Twist plot in this book more straight forward then some of the other Disney Twisted tales are. I have read "As old as time "Beauty and the beast Twisted version. Enjoyable yet have more then 2 twists to get you lost in the storyline. I know this book will keep you asking what's next and what's going to happen etc. Definitely a page turner. NOTE to: all die hard fans including myself: DONT take the Twisted series on an Exstream serious mindset. They're ment to be taken with humor and have you think like a curios detective: "What if facts of a good story were different"?

I love this series and I love that these books are stand alone. Stand alone means you don't have to read them in order of how they were written. You get to pick and choose which one you want to read first. These books are perfect for any Disney fan. I love books that capture your attention from beginning to end.

Good read. Interesting view.

I really enjoyed this story. As with A Whole New World I enjoyed all the character development. The original Disney story had all the characters as one dimensional so seeing them with some personality was great. I liked the Aurora in this story a lot better than the movie as once she escapes from the castle she decides to escape the dream and that in turn will save her remaining kingdom. Ms. Braswell's idea to not have Aurora be in love with Phillip as soon as she meets him in the dream world was brilliant. I have grown less fond of insta-love the more I age. It was fine when I was a kid but now that I'm older the less I believe in that. I didn't like that in the dream world her parents were supposed to be evil but that like everything else was a fabrication by Maleficent. And Phillip was so cute in this tale. I saw him as a adorable little puppy when he reunites with Aurora but he does turn into this badass determined to save his love. I wish that people would give this series a chance and not judge it up against the movies that the books are based upon. The Disney movies are made to be kid-friendly and are loosely based off the actual tales. As with the last book I am looking forward to the next in the series. I hope it's Beauty and the Beast as it's my favorite fairytale. Rating: 4½ stars out of 5

Love the series.

What an interesting take on the tale of sleeping beauty. Manipulating dreams and challenging our power over dreams is such an interesting concept that the author builds on in each chapter. The focus on deep relationships is amazing and interwoven so well into the story. You even question what she may feel throughout the adventure. A great read for a modern spin on this tale.

This was one of my favorite twisted tales. I loved the whole dream concept and how people started to disappear when they started to act strange. I thought the ending was beautiful as well. Loved the love and the fact that she questioned her sanity.

I enjoyed the original story and the Disney film of Sleeping Beauty. This book is based on both, and gets even darker than the Disney film, but not quite as dark as the original story. It focuses on Aurora, as expected, but also focuses more on Maleficent and Prince Phillip, the latter of which didn't get much focus in the film and wasn't exactly an upstanding person in the original tale. It's nice to see he has a part in the story too, when he and Aurora genuinely loved each other in the Disney film. Braswell's expansion of the whole story has been very enjoyable to read and I look forward to reading more of her novels when I get the chance.

Fue un muy bien producto empaquetado correcto

alles gut, gerne wieder.

I am a huge Disney fan so couldn't wait to start reading this book. I have already read and loved the first book in the series of twisted tales so I knew I wouldn't be dissappointed with this one. It's brilliantly written and it sucks you into the alternative version of the tale of Sleeping Beauty. Then the mother of all twists happens and I literally couldn't put the book down because I needed to know what happened to Aurora next! Each chapter is ended in a way that makes you want/need to read more! I feel that it ends perfectly, it's not your typical Disney 'they lived happily ever after' but it's perfect. I recommend this book to all disney fans young and old!

Pas le meilleur de la série des " what if " , il reste bon ( mais quand on le compare à Aladdin et à La Belle et la Bête , il est clairement en dessous ).

Book arrived in great condition.
