Book Reviews of Glass Slipper, Gold Sandal: A Worldwide Cinderella
Book Review: nice try...
Summary: 2 Stars
this is the cinderella story, but each section of the story is taken from a different telling of cinderella from around the world. the idea's nice... but i don't think it worked out. instead of it being the story of cinderella it was a book saying that more than one country had the cinderella story... which is nice, but i'd prefer to have each of those stories told to me instead of having them all smushed together not being true to any of the stories but just delivering the general message they all share. each cinderella story is similar, but the story from each country does differ and therefore the stories are somewhat different, as each is being told through the eyes of a different culture and therefore places importance on different things. To me it feels like this story is trying to say 'we're all the same, all exactly the same' but i disagree with that, we're all different, and that's wonderful... so lets joyfully experience the difference instead of trying to make us all the same. needless to say i would have preferred a compilation of stories rather than smushing them all together and doing justice to none of them. i truly dislike this cardboard sense of multiculturalism and hope this author doesn't get his hands on any more like material.
