Once upon a time (or last Thursday, as it's known in this matrix) everything was fine: Humpty Dumpty sat on his wall, Jack and Jill went about their lawful business, the Big Bad Wolf did what big bad wolves do, and the wicked queen plotted murder most foul. But the humans hacked, cried havoc, shut down the wicked queen's system (mirrors 3.1) and corrupted her database - and suddenly everything was not fine at all. But at least we know that they'll all live happily ever after. Don't we? Computers and fairy tales collide to hilarious effect in the latest sparkling cocktail of mayhem, wit and wonder from the master of comic fantasy.

I did not get into this book right away. But after a couple of chapters the fairy tale & computer mix hooked me. (

I liked this a little more than some of the other [a:Tom Holt|9766|Tom Holt|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1246502762p2/9766.jpg] books. The ending is kind of a let down but it is consistently pretty funny throughout. (

An interesting plot premise but the action got a bit confusing, fairy tales as virtual reality (

Copy of my Launchpad review from 2001:
The comfortable world of Fairy Tales (hey, I am a hero; I get the girl and the gold so it is comfortable for me!) has started to glitch. The Dwarves are still short, but are now Japanese. The Wicked Wolf is going through a bad chapter of his life.
Another of Tom Holt’s gentle twists on accepted tales. Not as funny as his early works, but still a joy. (

I did not bother finishing this book. I did not actually get bored but did not see the point. The jokes kept coming but the wit was standing still and it was all bound to end in just another punchline. Holt tries to cram into one book the same sort of fun that Douglas Adams would spread over three and the result looks, well, cramped and inelegant. I'm afraid this book failed to convince me that it's made of something more spontaneous and attractive than painstakingly contrived absurdity. (

For two very different Thompsons - the much-enduring Pete (who sold me the bloody computer) and the entirely imaginary Cronon (who only exists inside it) - and for Dave Sparks, on general principles.

Once upon a time there was a little house in a big wood.

I’ll need some trusty henchmen. Fat lot of good it’d be being a queen and having to do my own henching.

‘HEEEEEEELP!’ she repeated hopefully. As a problem-solving technique its main virtue was consistency; it didn’t work but at least it kept on not working, so at least you knew where you stood.
