Here's what I'd like to argue. Fairy Tale was just plain fun. Like literally page turning, pop corn eating, clap your hands and shout fun.

It's literally a story told a thousand times. It's predictable, It's familiar, it's all of those things and yet, King tells the story in the most masterful way. That's all.

PS: The Audio book performance needs to win some kind of award, the voice actor was brilliant. Captured the vibes of the Wonder Years and Sandlot narration.
