pickAlthough the storyline was predictable, I still enjoyed the story of how Cruella came to be. I think the author did a great job of truly understanding the character and what motivates her.
Now I can't wait to watch the movie. I waited until I finished this book before I allowed myself to see it.
pickI absolutely adored this! Cruella is one of my all-time favorites and I'm so glad she got her own origin story. The joys of London are well described and the tone making the reader imagine themself in this lovely city. I especially loved the time period which demonstrates the start of colorful fashion and upbeat music after the war. This story was exactly what I needed it to be. Maureen Johnson clearly knows how to create Disney magic!
I was wondering why the names Jasper and Horace were familiar but it's because they are the henchmen! That took some time to make the link.
I got the opportunity to review this and I'm really stocked. Cruella is one of my all-time favorites when it comes to villains and I was planning on seeing the real-life adapted version of this tale. I'm honestly surprised that this is going to be my first book from Maureen Johnson considering, how many of her books are in my TBR.
After seeing the trailer, I‘m going to have to read the prequel (tagged), which comes out in April. Cruella isn‘t my favorite Disney villain, but she‘s up there. And given that there isn‘t really a fantasy aspect to the original movie, it makes her character even more compelling.
