    by Debbie from Silver Spring, MD | Aug 27, 2009

    This was a fun tale much in the vein of Jasper Fforde's Nursery Crime series, only much simpler. The third pig is the surviving brother of "The Three Little Pigs" who had built his house with brick. He's approached to find the stolen lamp of Mr. Aladdin, Grimmtown's most reclusive, powerful, and wealthy resident.

    Lots of tongue-in-cheek in-jokes for the fairy and folk tale fans, and a nice plot twist at the end.

    It would have rated higher except:
    1) I wish it had been longer. I know it was written primarily for the YA crowd, but 160 pages is a bit slim.
    2) Harry's gumshoe jargon was a little wearying.

    Other than that, an enjoyable read.

    Dull. Not as clever as it thinks it is and I couldn't finish it.
