So don’t go into this novel expecting something twisted or demented, because you won’t find it. THE JUNIPER TREE reminds me more of the eerie, yet awesome musical SWEENEY TODD by Stephen Sondheim, full of death, secrets, and mayhem. Comparing JUNIPER BERRY to THE JUNIPER TREE is like that: The comparison is too loose with next to no connections. You get annoyed at how different they are, how the two only share a name. Think of a book that has been adapted into the worst adaptation of a movie you’ve ever seen. The novel’s children, Juniper and Giles, are forced to grow up as them embark on a journey to save their parents.Įveryone has been comparing JUNIPER BERRY to the little-known tale THE JUNIPER TREE by The Brothers Grimm, but I have trouble seeing the connection aside from, you know, the juniper tree. Kozlowsky fills all of these requirements, albeit in a creepy, unforgiving way. I love novels brimming with epic quests and the discovery that comes as a child discovers him/herself. ![]() ![]() If left up to me, life would be a fantasy.or a fairy tale. I love delving into worlds featuring the fantastic.
