I’m very aware that I’m not the target audience for this book, but for most of the stories I could barely tell the difference between what I read here and what I remember from my childhood. 
The dark twists for most was just a paragraph at the end changing, of course with the exception of a few who were reimagined (which I enjoyed!) 
Sadly, when only 3/12 of the stories felt like they had time and effort put into the reimagining, I’ll have to give the whole book a low rating
