“I found this to be a well-written story, uncomfortable at times because of the situations the narrator is in, but also on how it relates to the “real” telling of fairy tales and myths in the story (which are all tragic). Although banned in my county, I find it completely acceptable for a high school student to read.”

“For those of you who don’t know, infandous means to odious to be expressed of mentioned. It will make more sense when you finish the book.
Infadous starts with the story of Sleeping Beauty, the one most people don’t know. Let’s just say, it would at least be rated R if that version became a movie. And it certainly wouldn’t be Disney. And there are a few other stories also told throughout story, like Persephone’s, and tied them into the story. It is a great way to tell a story, and the subtle foreshadowing and nods to the story were great. Also, do NOT read this book if you are sensitive to any sort of language or sex.
The main character is Seph. Seph isn’t like most YA heroines, if any. Her tone is slightly remiss of Holden Caulfield, but that’s because they are both pessimists with a bit of an holier than thou complex. But she is NOT Holden Caulfield, and this is certainly not Catcher in the Rye by any means. This is gritty and terrifying, and if you plan to read this book, you will want to read it with someone or find other people who have read them because this is the type of book that needs to be talked about. Back to Seph, she is strong but broken. And you don’t know why because even though her life kind of sucks, she has a mom who loves her and a home and friends. And then you find out. Cause this is her story. And it is messed up.
SPOILERS
So did anyone know about Felix? Did anyone? Because I flipped. And creeped out. Bad enough he’s a grown man and she’s a child. (By the way, it’s illegal. Statutory rape. Felix is in the wrong.) And it’s gross.
END SPOILERS
Seph’s art and the descriptions of them were so great, I really want to see it now. Also, her mom is interesting. All the other characters besides Seph felt 2 dimensional, as if Seph couldn’t completely understand them. Like, they would be more complex with a story of their own.
This book as a whole is amazing. I don’t know if I enjoyed this book, but it has my utmost respect. I’m giving it four stars because I can’t give it anything lower. I recommend this book to anyone who wants anything different from anything else and doesn’t mind gory details of real life. Just really an amazing book. And please talk to me about it, if you have read it or plan to.
Bonus Quotes:
“Thing don’t really turn out the way they do in fairy tales. I’m telling you that right up front, so you’re not disappointed latest.”
“Have you ever had the feeling that you aren’t the main character in the story of your life? That you fill a more minor role- supporting cast, maybe, comic relief, or even antagonist.””
