Everyone has heard story of Snow White. The pretty story with the cute animals and fake violence. This novel takes the basic outline of the story of Snow White and places it in a realistic setting, adding more plot twists and background. The seven dwarfs now become a pack of street-dwelling folk who have animal-like characteristics. (Instead of completely leaving out the magic of the original tale, Tracy Lynn warps magic into an almost scientific endeavor in this thrilling conversion.) The evil step-mother stays the same, but now she is elderly and trying to produce a male heir.
The main points of the story remain true to the original tale, yet Lynn also creates a new background and progression of events so that this book may stand on its own. Whole sections are added to create more background and in-depth view of the characters.
This novel is an interesting read. Taking key points from the original, it is still a worth-while tale. I recommend reading this if you enjoyed the traditional version of Snow White but also even if you did not.
