Story4.5 out of 5 stars 41
The story I'm about to tell is the darkest fairy tale of all. Also, it is the weirdest. And the bloodiest. It is the grimmest tale I have ever heard. And I am sharing it with you. Two children venture through forests, flee kingdoms, face ogres and demons and monsters, and, ultimately, find their way home. Oh yes, and they may die. Just once or twice. That's right. Fairy tales are awesome.

Tuesdays at Castle Glower are Princess Celie's favorite days. That's because on Tuesdays the castle adds a new room, a turret, or sometimes even an entire wing. No one ever knows what the castle will do next, and no one - other than Celie, that is - takes the time to map out the new additions. But when King and Queen Glower are ambushed and their fate is unknown, it's up to Celie, with her secret knowledge of the castle's never-ending twists and turns, to protect their home and save their kingdom.

But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend?

Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

The author of the Mistborn trilogy and Elantris, Brandon Sanderson is winning abundant praise for this rollicking - and unusual - tale. Alcatraz Smedry can’t exactly be described as someone who doesn’t break things. In fact, he breaks lots of things. The truth is, he’s a major klutz. Breaking things, however, might just be the ace in the hole he needs when he goes up against a cabal of nefarious (gasp!) librarians.

Tied with the Riordan books as son's favorites
What made the experience of listening to The Sisters Grimm the most enjoyable?
My son can't put these books down, and eagerly waited for the next installment. Other than the Riordan series, I haven't seen him that anxious to get the next book downloaded.
What did you like best about this story?
All of the allusions to fairy tales and other well-known stories.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
My 12 year old came close -- certainly was anxious each evening (our time to listen to books on tape) to get this playing.
Any additional comments?
From an adult perspective I didn't love this series as much as my son -- but I would definitely recommend it to kids in his age group.

Fairy Tales come to life
In this book two sisters meet fairy tale characters and find out that they are not always how the story portrays them. The girls are funny and brave. They don't always do what they are told to do. This is a fun book for a tween or grown-up with a playful spirit.

Very funny!!
This is book 2, start with The Fairy Tales Detectives: The Sisters Grimm as book 1.
You have got to listen to these with your kids. Beware! This story ends abruptly without a resolution. You MUST get The Problem Child: The Sisters Grimm to have on hand. You won't be able to stop! These are so punk rock! (you'll get this comment once you start the series)

A fun story but several problems
The narrator is positively cringe-worthy, and I get really annoyed by mystery characters who are supposed to be smart but can't figure anything out until they're told, but it was worth the couple days it took to listen to.

Fun story, but have breathing was distracting.
I'm becoming a fan of the Sisters Grimm stories, but the narrator's character affectations could use some work. At times it was difficult to tell which European accent was meant to represent which character, and gender affectations were even worse. Obviously narrating a book requires breathing, I didn't expect it to require heavy breathing into the recording equipment.
