I can NOT believe someone is willing to publish this garbage. Besides making the main characters seem like dim witted honkies, it has misogynist tones that just disgust this reader. There are parts where the author tries to rhyme, but please don't. I’m sorry to say that Sierra and tiaras don't rhyme (unless you are speaking like a stereotypical hillbilly). Then there is the line “But it was hard to tell who was a real princess because, well, let’s face it, princes costumes just aren’t that expensive.” The use of the word costume like everything is just a act, or a play, and then equating it to money. UGGGGHHHH. Plus, when “The prince opened the door and right there was three princesses. He was so excited until they said… blaaah blaaah blaaah.” Excuse me!!! You degrade the female characters to the point they don't even get words, but a Seinfeld sound effect. Chauvinist much? Plus, while I’m at it, stop copying another author’s line: “Did princesses wear hiking books…”. This book deserves to be nowhere near that books popular catch phrase. This story story is supposed to be a melding of Cinderella and the Princess and the Pea, but instead it’s a disrespectful piece of garbage that uses phrases that harkens to an illiterate author. And please don’t get me started on the illustrations.
