Book Review--Faery Tale--One Woman's Search for Enchanment in a Modern World--J. Leonhardt

Let me first start by saying, that although I recommend books to friends and family alike, this is my first time ever writing a review for any book, and I truly felt that this one deserved it, so hopefully you enjoy it, and it inspires you to do a little reading of your own ;)
I bought Faery Tale through a book catalog, the cover was enticing, and the short summary was intriguing. After finishing the book, I contacted the author Signe Pike and asked for her permission to review this book. Like I said to her:
"I have read TONS of books in my life, and very, very few have moved me to laugh, love and even cry right along with it. Yours has! It is a real treasure indeed."

This sums up my view on this book. This book is AMAZING! I loved every aspect of it. In this true story, Signe takes you along with her on her journey through Mexico and Europe in search of The Faery Folk, while in the process, discovering herself. From her Reiki-Specialist friend Raven, to Mr. and Mrs. Brian Froud, to an absolutely loveable group of bikers, you can't help but feel a connection to each and every person in this book! And her 4-year-old faery hunter has to be one of the cutest things ever!

The way Ms. Pike writes is like talking to an old friend. The writing is descriptive, yet not too detailed and long winded. I love the way that she makes you feel comfortable reading her story, and one cannot help but to be drawn into the journey she takes right along with her. She is fun, funny, and at times sad, but you will travel right along, even through the tears and heartache.

I cannot recommend this book enough! This one has definitely earned a special place on my shelf and in my heart, and is most certainly a book that will be re-read many, many times. Please do yourself a favor and read this, its worth every penny! You won't be sorry :)

Go with love, go with light, go with peace and please, go read this book!!!!!
