About this ebook

Sit back, relax and allow Hans Christian Asbosen to tell you fantastical stories of far-away lands. Once upon a time there were. . . Hansel and Courtney and their trail of Wotsits, Jack and the Weedstalk, Snow White and the Seven Dads and Bling-erella. There's Little Red Riding Hoodie, the Crack Piper of Camden, mistakenly enlisted to rid London of its rats, and Sleep-In Beauty, who is cursed with an addiction to fairydust. Not quite as traditional as first glance might suggest, these hilarious reworkings of traditional classics are a wonderfully acerbic look at today's society.

    I don't think there's much to review with this book, the title says it all I think.It's a collection of fairy tales told in modern language using modern situations. The stories include Snow White and the Seven Dads, The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Bailiff, Little Red Riding Hoodie, The Princess and the Oven Chip, Blingerella and Mouldy Locks and the Three Bears.This book was quite funny to begin with, using situations such as The Jeremy Kyle Show in a story or two. In the end the book just got a bit repetitive, the female characters being 'blinged up' precocious princess's and the male characters being 'bad boy' drugged up chavs.It's ok if you don't take it serious but to be honest with a title like The Asbo Fairy Tales, how can you take this serious, A quick and light hearted read.

    The ASBO fairytales take common fairytales and twist them by replacing the familiar characters with modern stereotypes, mainly working class stereotypes. For example, Puss in Boots injures himself and make fraudulent compensation claims, instead of sleeping sleeping beauty is addicted to drink and drugs so can never get up in the morning and Jack climbes a giant weed plant to steal a hen that lays tobacco. Some of the fun little twists they put in are cute, and it's interested to see how they work when you replace on set of overblown stereotypes with another, but the problem I had with this book was I didn't find any of it laugh out loud funny. Maybe it's just lost on me. Not a bad read but don't expect to be rolling in the aisles.
