What can't Stephen King do? This epic quest starring a 17 year old boy and his ailing dog is masterful; it's a wonderful homage to fairy tales and legends. When Charlie helps the grumpy old man down the street he has no idea what he has gotten himself into. He's convinced that he has to help this grumpy old man and his adorable dog and despite his initial thoughts, comes to like the crotchety old man and adore his dog Radar. Little does he know that another world awaits and an adventure beyond anything he's ever read or seen in the movies is about to occur. So much fun, Fairy Tale combined so many elements from the Wizard of Oz, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Shrek, Rumpelstiltskin, and more. Dark at parts, but come on, it's a fairy tale. The audiobook narration was SUPERB. Do yourself a favor and listen to this one! I don't want to spoil anything, but it's so good!
