Description In Favor Of Books Reawakened (Once Upon A Time #1)
Emma Swan's life has been anything but a fairy tale. She's been on her own since she was abandoned as a baby—that is, until the night of her twenty-eighth birthday, when Henry, a ten-year-old boy, shows up on her doorstep. He's the son Emma gave up for adoption, and this surprise visit turns her life upside down. Henry takes Emma back to his home in Storybrooke, Maine, where, Henry claims, all the residents are actually fairy tale characters who can't remember their true identities. And if Henry's right, that means that his sweet-natured, lonely schoolteacher Mary Margaret Blanchard is really Snow White, the iconic princess ... and also Emma's long-lost mother. In Fairy Tale Land, we meet Snow White as a bandit on the run, forced into exile by her stepmother, the Evil Queen. Snow's a young woman learning to become a hero, who will do anything to live happily ever after with her one true love, Prince Charming. The closer Emma comes to Henry in Storybrooke, the harder it is for her to ignore the dark curse that haunts this small New England town and binds her to Mary Margaret. If Emma can learn to accept her destiny as Storybrooke's savior and break the curse, she just might get the family reunion she's dreamed about her entire life.Present Epithetical Books Reawakened (Once Upon A Time #1)

2.5 stars.This was a really superficial novelization of Season 1. It was lacking a lot of the charm that the show has because we only saw things from Emma and Mary Margaret's point of view. We didn't see the other things that were going on with Gold or Regina, which really made it hard to connect with the book. It was also missing the episodes that weren't centered around the core characters for the same reason.Mediocre at best, but at least it refreshed my memory about some of the plot points.I don't know exactly what I was expecting when I started reading this book, but it kind of took me by surprise.First of all, Once Upon a Time is one of my favourite series. I am totally in love with retellings, and even if the plot is kind of getting old and predictable, I still find it fun to watch.Reawakened was sort of a guide to the series. We get a little more insight on the reasons behind Emma and Snow's (or Mary Margaret's) decisions, but it's actually pretty disappointing as a stand
I don't often read novelizations, but I found myself enjoying this.The familiar feeling of being back in Storybrooke, but being able to actually know the thoughts and emotions of the people as they are going through the first adventure was, well it felt like an Easter egg. Don't get me wrong, all the amazing actors and actresses in OUaT brought those feelings and emotions across their performances, but this is just... Different. Also there is no dichotomy between the onscreen characters, and the
so it's basically it's the show in written form.i really like the fact that you get to know what they are thinking.
I love OUAT. I wanted to love this book as much as I love the show, but that ended up being impossible. So much was left out, which I could have overlooked, except for the fact that it also added absolutely nothing new. What was the point of even reading this? I could have popped in the DVD and enjoyed season 1 in its fullest, most vivid form.To make matters worse, the scarcity wasn't even very well written. I don't blame the author on this front, as I assume she was simply doing the bidding of
Can't wait to see how the story'll be like on paper!!!edit on July 27, 20132.5 stars.Overall mood of the whole book = intensely dull. Hard to follow and understand for anyone interested in the book but has NOT watched the show.And how DO you adapt something that is originally NOT a written piece of idea? I've read adaptations for the Spider-Man trilogy, Iron Man, and The Darn Knight, and one thing I've noticed is that things get shorten down into simple descriptions.Probably won't be reading
