I loved the book but i also love all books related to fairytales or fantasy.

When I first read the plot summary of the book I thought for sure it would be the best. However, I felt that it didn't fill my expectations fully. I was a huge fan of the writers clever connections to fairy tale characters. I would have liked the novel better if the book didn't have the "bad dust" made of grined fairy bones even though it was a uniqe twist to it I still would have liked it to be made of something else. I felt that the novel was very well writen and I was never bored while reading it. I recomend it to any one who loves fanisty books or mystery novels.

This book was very unusual from other books I have read.This may have been the first book I have read that is like this. It was unusual but fascinating. I recommend this book for readers who don't mind reading about fairy tales that have been a bit altered.

Dust City was a bit unusual book. I enjoyed it a lot but I think that it could've been better. I think it was a bit confusing a lot of times and the author could've made it a bit more interesting. Anyway Dust City was a good book.

In my opinion i didn't like dust city that much maybe because I was reading a better book in comparison. I may have not liked but nonetheless it's still not bad. In the book I had a lot of questions like: how did faelyn (i think that's how you spell it) join nimbus and so on.

"Dust City" was a good and exciting book. I really liked how the author, Robert Paul Weston changed the whole story of the Big Bad Wolf and created an original story of the whole big tale. This book reminds me of the movie "HoodWinked". It shows the similar story, that a wolf was not the culprit of a crime scene. Dust City had the wolf as the culprit, but then the book reveals how the "Big" and "Bad" wolf was somehow forced to kill Red Riding Hood and her Granny. I liked how there were many twists in the book and I really liked how the author included a concept of Fairy Dust, and how the main character Henry Whelp, son of Big Bad Wolf, sets off to stop the misuse of fairy dust creations. I really liked this book in all and I recommend this to everyone who likes mysteries and adventures.

Dust city was my favorite Red Maple book. This book reminded me abour Nazi Gemrany because people there were disrespected and treated differently becuase they were a differnt race.

My favourite book out of all of the Red Maple books. It was really interesting becuase of its relation to common fairy tales, and it relation to human behaviour and what we would do for money. I read all of it during march break while I was out of the country, it made sad that the book ended becuase it was so good. It reminded me of Nazi Germeny because people were treated badly just because they a certain race or "species".

i love this book so much! I wanted to read it every night I was free. I didn't like it because in the beginning it's really slow but when you get further in the book, it's really funny and very interesting that the book made me want to read more!

I didn't enjoy this book at all it was to far fetched and confusing for me. Although I didn't enjoy this book I have to admitt it was a very well written book.
