A Curse Dark As Gold: A Geronimo Stilton Adventure Audiobook

" Author says inspired by Rumplestilskin to write this suspenseful story that combines fairy tale, old curses, family loyalty, and romance. This would make a great movie. "

" It was a good book but I didn't believed their marriage it was to fast and they really didn't have that much romance. They just got married and had a son. "

" The writing is startlingly beautiful and, despite a slowish beginning, the plot is extremely well crafted. "

" This is actually a 3.5. I enjoyed this fun retelling of the Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale set at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. "

" I actually really liked this take on Rumpelstiltskin. I'm not normally much of a fan of fairy tale retellings, but this was fantastic. "

" A pretty good expansion of Rumpelstiltskin, I'd put this on my list of good fairy tale retellings. I enjoyed the historical setting at the dawning of the Industrial Revolution and the spunky main character. Why is it, however, that these feisty young women won't trust anybody? They always have to fix things themselves, adding to their troubles. Here Charlotte meets and marries a wonderful man who makes her feel safe, but she will not share her problems with him, because she doesn't want to drag him down, to involve him in her family's problems. I'm not saying he needs come in on his white horse and fix everything, but many issues would have been simpler had she let him into her heart. Or there's the village healer, an older woman who on a couple occasions shows her wisdom and loyalty to Charlotte and her family, but Charlotte won't confide in her either. There were any number of good friends and neighbors Charlotte is given an opportunity to come clean with, but she never does until the very end. And I guess maybe we wouldn't have had a story otherwise. I'm not entirely sure I believe that though. "

" It was okay. I didn't really know what was happening in the story but I kinda liked it. "

" I thought this book was ok. I definitely loved some parts of this book but I hated other aspects. I would rather not go into too much detail about this book because i didnt like it too much and I do not want to rant. So overall I give the book 3/5 BookStars! "

" A loose twist on Rumpelstiltskin. It was a quick, easy read that I enjoyed. A few times I heard my 9th grade English teacher saying, "show it, don't tell it". There were moments when this author told you what she saw rather than making you feel like you were there, but still a good book. "

" Well written and all, but it was super hard to stay interested in. "

" Okay, I have this book. I got it for Christmas. S'okay. "

" A fabulous retelling of the familiar Rumpelstiltskin tale. "

" Absolutely enjoyed the whole book! "

" I just need to get the review up sometime soon... "

" While this book was well written and the characters interesting I was really frustrated by the protagonist's lack of action, so much so I felt like grinding my teeth. "

" I thought this book was kind of interesting. The only negative thing about the book was how slow-moving it was for me. But other than that, I thought it was a good one. Not one of my favorites though. "

" Nice historical fic book kept the pages turning, nice describtion romance lacked a bit though. "

" This lady can certainly weave a good yarn! This retelling of the miller's daughter kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. "

" Great book. The ending was perfect. "

" This is a great retelling of Rumpelstiltskin, but it was a little slow for me at times. "

" Over all, I liked this book. It was long, and it took me a little while to really get into the tale. It was a refreshing take on the Rumpelstiltskin story. I really enjoyed some of the characters. Some parts were a little creepy when they were dealing with ghosts and spirits. "

" I thought this book was kind of interesting. The only negative thing about the book was how slow-moving it was for me. But other than that, I thought it was a good one. Not one of my favorites though. "

" I couldn't read this one in the dark, it was pretty spooky. This story was very long and a the mystery seemed to take forever to figure out. "

" An intriguing and innovative look at the traditional Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale. "

" A selection for Mike's juvie lit class. Haunting is a great way to describe this book, slow and creepier by the minute with a thread of hope spun throughout. Recommend if you're looking for a re-telling of an old fairytale: Rumplestilskin. "

" I love this kind of fairy tale book. It makes you think....it could have really happened that way! :) "
