Die Brautprinzessin von William Goldman

Als Fan von Märchen dachte ich, dass dieses Buch genau meins wäre, aber ich wurde enttäuscht.
Die Geschichte handelt von der wunderschönen Butterblume und dem Stalljungen Westley, der in Butterblume verliebt ist. Doch Prinz Humperdinck will Butterblume für sich und ist daher eine Bedrohung für Westleys Liebe. Daher kommt es zu abenteuerlichen Handlungen, die ich allerdings nicht besonders spannend oder unterhaltsam fand.
Der Autor erzählt diese Geschichte innerhalb einer Geschichte und kommentiert zwischendurch immer wieder, warum das jetzt so ist. Mich hat das genervt und auch den roten Faden habe ich nicht gefunden. Für mich verlief die Geschichte ziemlich zäh.
Auch die Figuren haben mich nicht überzeugt, sie blieben mir in ihrer Zeichnung zu flach.
Ich hatte wohl etwas anderes erwartet. Ich fand die Geschichte weder witzig noch spannend. Sie war so gar nicht meine Sache, aber über Geschmack lässt sich ja bekanntlich streiten.… (mehr)
