A Say About Sleeping Beauty

Okay...let's see..

This girl/woman/bitch is supposed to be the very embodiment of the perfect woman: beautiful with questionable intelligence.
You see, when this bitch was a sucker of an infant her fairygodmothers bestowed her 3 things: beauty, the gift of singing divinely and the third one being the only cure to break the curse was to be kissed by her true love. For those who havent watch this movie: before her 3rd gift could be bestowed an awesome witch appeared and put on a curse on the little bitch: after the night of her 16th birthday she will prick herself on a spinning wheel and die. The third fairy godmother lessened the curse by bestowing that if she should prick herself she will not die but go to a sleep until she is kissed by her true love.
You know...they needn't have to wait her true love show up. All the fairygodmothers could have done: cast a enchantment that can be broken by a mother's kiss or a father's kiss? All the father or mother have to do is kiss their darling daughter and wo and behold: the curse will be broken and the witch will end up a bad loser being booed possibly get thrown rat carcasses at her. Woopee.

Now folks, tell me: is that SO hard? Dont think so.

We all want the handsome(not!) prince to be gallant and kill off the only sensible character in the whole movie who knows how to have fun.
Bummer.

Review ~ The Girl in the Ice by Robert Bryndza

  I'd give this 3.5 stars. It's his first book so there's that.  The plot ran smoothly with realistic dynamics between character...
