This is one of my favorite books! If you like love stories and fairy tales, then this is a great book. It is a bit predictable, but has all that your looking for in a good adventure/love story. I love anything to do with pirates, so thats what attracted me to it at first. But now I find myself going back to it over and over whenever I need a good story to cheer me up. You fall in love with the characters and the adventure they are on.
