Tooth Fairy (Child's Play Library)

Product Information

For my enjoyment, probably a 2 star. It was just ok. For the writing though...probably a 3 star. It was vulgar, yes, but the writing was still good IMO. I don't think I'll easily forget, Terry, Sam, Clive, Alice, Linda....and even though a nasty character, the Tooth Fairy. I do think this book will stay with me.

It’s a great way of introducing children to the idea of looking after their teeth, and giving some positive messages about teethbrushing and the importance of limitingsugar consumption. The second film, which used the title Red Dragon, appeared in 2002. Directed by Brett Ratner and written by Ted Tally (who also wrote the screenplay for The Silence of the Lambs), it starred Edward Norton as Graham and Anthony Hopkins as Lecter. This one is hard to rate. Hard because it is a good book but not what I expected. This is listed under most shelves as 'Horror' and is the reason I started it this month. I can see where some might consider it Horror, but in my opinion, this was a coming of age/ dark fantasy tale. It is always best to plan something. If you are planning to be fair when your child loses the first tooth, make a plan of what to do and how to do it in advance. A brilliant evocation of coming-of-age in the sixties, juxtaposed with an hallucinatory sense of wonder--and terror.

I'm honestly left with so many feelings towards this book there were times I bit my lip. The times I laughed out loud. It was a very compelling read. There's a sense in which the storytelling is deliberately unstructured, depriving you of the usual clues to the direction the narrative is taking. This has the effect of sharpening the horror, making you feel that everything is at stake, all the time.The tooth fairy itself is a unique creation - so much so that although the book stands in a well established tradition of "coming of age with supernatural stuff going on" stories, it really doesn't feel like anything I've read before. And the denouement, when it came, left me both breathless and profoundly moved. I'd imagined a lot of ways in which the narrator and his nemesis might finally settle what was between them, but I never came close to guessing what would happen. a b Philip L. Simpson (30 December 2009). Making Murder: The Fiction of Thomas Harris: The Fiction of Thomas Harris. ABC-CLIO. pp.13–. ISBN 978-0-313-35625-4. The Tooth Fairy is a very good coming of age tale with sprinkles of horror (and maybe a wee fantasy, as well.) Sam has a Tooth Fairy - A (dream?) that is leaking over into the real world and causing havoc for the Redstone Moodies. As events unfold, Sam must find a way to disconnect from the Tooth Fairy and stop the intrusion into our world before it destroys all that he loves. As the full moon nears, an increasingly desperate Graham realizes that the killer knew the layout of his victims' houses from their home movies, which were developed at the same film processing lab. Dolarhyde's job gives him access to all home movies that pass through the company. When he sees Graham interviewing his boss, Dolarhyde realizes that they are on to him and goes to see McClane one last time. He finds her breaking up with her previous boyfriend, Ralph Mandy, to be with Dolarhyde; McClane grants Mandy's request for a final kiss goodbye. Enraged with jealousy, Dolarhyde kills Mandy. He kidnaps McClane and, having taken her to his house, sets the place on fire. He says he intends to kill her and then himself, but finds himself unable to shoot her. The shotgun fires, and McClane hears a body hits the floor. McClane escapes just before the house explodes. Graham later comforts her, telling her that there is nothing wrong with her and that the kindness and affection she showed Dolarhyde probably saved lives. It’s better to give small gifts than a lot of money notes. These gifts are more effective and make your kids happier. It’s vital to give a gift that is related to the tooth fairy. Children believe that the gift is from a fairy; hence it should be a fairy-type gift. Use a tiny tooth fairy door, which indicates that the tooth is removed from this door, and makes a memory of this tradition.

This was most definitely a book that was anything but the "same-old, same-old" and I never could figure out quite where it was going next which is what I enjoyed so much about the book. The blend of the ordinary and the "weird" was seamless. Sam was a well developed, realistic character and watching him mature and grow was fascinating and I'm still pondering over the question "was it all in his imagination?" I'd like to think it wasn't.
