At last, a book about a stylish villain Cruella
De Vil. I know this series is about the villains from Disney and all of us
started and thought as if we are going to read about the origins of all these villains
but the author introduced her own new characters and we found out in most cases
it was the hidden hand of these characters that were involved in shaping the
lives and stories of most of these known characters. For some, it was a
wonderful idea and for some it is boring, but for me, it is a great idea to
show and expand on the universe so we can enjoy it more and find more stories
and possibilities in this already huge universe.
Cruella does not belong in the same
category as the other villains of the past books, because she belongs to the modern
world. And that is why you are only going to find very few things that are
going to connect this book to other books and the main background story. It is
not much but I liked the hint and the touch writer gave to it. One more thing
that I must clear is that I did not watch the new movie called “Cruella” yet so
I don’t know if it is the same story or based on this book or not. (Going to
watch the movie very soon, so keep an eye on this area for an update.)
The book tells Cruella's story as an
autobiography and shows the side of her that we never knew and the reasons
behind her turn to what we saw in the movies. I really love the first-person narrative
and this one is no exception, Cruella tells her story in this book and surely
you are going to love it plus the ending is great so be ready for saying wow at
the end.
A fun and creative story to read, it makes
you sad for the villain. Her plan to do what she wanted to do with the puppies
is unforgivable but still as a human you are still going to be sad for her just
like you felt sad for other villains in previous books.
I think I found a clue and it is something
or a pair of things that are cursed and that is in my opinion going to be revealed
later. (It is just my guess and may have nothing to do with the next stories.
Ask me privately or comment if you found out what I am talking about)
This paragraph is going to be the same for
this book series so If you already read it previously then just skip to the
next paragraph - This book series is about Walt Disney’s villains and about the
life they had and what caused them to be like what you saw them on the screen.
I always wanted to know about the other side of the story when I saw a villain
do something evil. And I think now is the time when we can see and read about
that because I see movies and read books about antiheroes and even villain’s backgrounds.
Our society is at last evolving and adopting the open-minded approach and that
is why we are trying to learn the opposite side’s story also.
Synopsis:
“Cruella De Vil is the perfect villain: stylish, witty, relentless...and possibly cursed.
From her lonely childhood, to her iconic
fashion choices, to that fateful car crash (you know the one), Cruella tells
all in this marvelous memoir of a woman doomed. Even the cruelest villains have
best friends, true loves, and daring dreams. Now it's Cruella’s turn to share
hers.
This latest novel by the author of the
wildly popular and darkly fascinating Villains series brings readers a tale
told by the Evil Thing herself―a tale of the complicated bonds of female
friendship, of mothers and daughters, and of burning, destructive desire.
After all, nothing is as simple as black
and white.”

Not a long read and can be finished in one
sitting and may take three hours if you are a fan of Cruella.
The audiobook is not out available, I was
hoping to listen to this after listening to the last book’s audio because that
was amazing. I’ll add the link as soon as the audio version of this book is
out.
I suggest buying the hardcover version if
you are a true fan or want to give it as a gift to someone who is a fan.
