Wow! I wasn't expecting that!
I downloaded this book as a last minute "MUST use my credit" choice thinking by the title that it was a bunch of short fairytales that I could play for the kids, only to one night not having anything new to read began to listen and was shocked how much I, a fully grown professional adult was gripped by the story and couldn't put it down. The Narration brought the story to life and what a story it's like someone took Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and mashed them altogether with all the fairytales ever told. Found out there is a a series of adventures and Just purchased the whole box set as I cant wait to see what' hapoens next , oh n for my kids as well.

A very nice background story and twist to classic fairytales
Enjoyed it overall and Colfer’s narration is not bad at all.
The story became a tad bit disjointed when the twins went over the journal trying to guess the items which were described in form of rhymes, practically wracking their brains to crack the codes only to have them spilled out blatantly (including ways of getting them) in two chapters after.
Very odd detailing.
And this is why I gave it a 4 star on the story line.
It was entertaining but not in J.K. Rowling’s league.
Not sure if it is exciting enough for a second time listen time.

Escapism for any age!
I am a 32 yo male and have just finished the listening to the land of stories. I came to it out of curiosity, I wanted to experience Chris Colfers writing. This did not disappoint. After quite a difficult being an adult has sucked, this book was a great escape.
It is filled with characters we all grew up with but adds new context.
You can tell the book is aimed at a younger audience but I was pleasantly surprised with developments and outcomes of the story.
I have already downloaded the next in the series and look forward to starting it.
Highly recommend for children and the child inside all of us.

loved every minute really enjoyed listening to this book, entertaining, funny, surprising. So much adventure, so many nail biting moments. Loved it loved it loved it. On to his next book. P. S. Thank you so much Chris Colfer for taking the time to write and read your own book so people like me who don't read actual books can listen to them instead, you made it sound so real especially when you changed your voice to fit each character. Thank you

Great story!
Great story that kept my children (7&9) entranced. Unfortunately, they found the narrator’s manner of reading to be difficult to listen to at times. That being said, the audiobook is still worth it because the story itself was superb.

simple, predictable, but generally sweet
I listened this book when I wanted something a bit more... fanciful. I had recently read some heavy stuff and I wanted something light. this book was good for easy listening. but in that same vein I did find it pretty predictable and very much geared at teens/young adults. probably was a bit young for me to read. I enjoyed the readers voices as well.

Must be heard not read
I love the ideas and sequences and the author reads this amazingly but if I was reading I wouldn't have gotten the nuance, since he overuses the word "said"
Given this I'd recommend it for older primary, lower secondary age children.

Love these book. I could live off them
I love these books and I have read all of them the only thing that’s missing is a little bit of spice to the characters sentences. Otherwise it is as good as Stephen Fry’s Harry Potter books.
