I read The Grimm Conclusion by Adam Gidwitz. It is the third book of Grimm. The two main characters are Jorinda and Joringel (you pronounce it as YOUR-INDA and YOUR-INGLE). They are sister and brother. When they were born their dad died of happiness because all he and his wife wished was that they could have children. Their mom did not know how to raise them or cook for them. She was afraid she would not be a good mom so she did not take care of them very much. She went back to her study room and studied. She married (again) to someone who was not very nice but knew how to cook. Their mom was always in her study and never came out so the children were stuck with the mean stepfather. They missed her a lot and got really sick by it. The book takes place in many places but mainly in the Kingdom of Grimm in Germany.

My three favorite parts were first, when Joringel goes to Hell and meets the devil. The devil’s house is made of human body parts. My second favorite part of the book was the war between the children and the grown-ups. The grown ups are much more powerful, but some of the children start to tell a story. Everything that they say happens in the story really happens. My third favorite part was when Jorinda is ruling the whole kingdom of Grimm but she makes a lot of bad rules and is a tyrant because she keeps on thinking about her mom and everything that happened to her that was bad. I would describe Jorinda as brave and smart because she is not scared to do anything, like once Jorinda gets stuck in a big house and giant dangerous animals are all around her. All of them are chained up to the wall. She was sure she was going to die, but she found the one spot in the room where the animals could not touch her. I would also say that she was confused because she rarely knew what she is doing, where she was and why she was there.

I enjoyed this book and would recommend it because the narrator comes in at random parts of the story and makes funny comments about everything, but I would only recommend this book to the people are not grossed out by death and blood, it has a lot of death and blood. I think this book is like the fairy tales Cinderella and Snow White because certain parts of the books are based on Cinderella and Snow White. All of the books of Grimm are based on fairy tales. I LOVED this book

I would give this book five stars.
