What a fabulous concept, Hunchback would be a great dystopian - Quasimodo could be a victim of some kind of nuclear accident or acid attack or something. And who doesn't need more Neil Gaiman books out there?melissa @ 1lbrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292714636311546457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-57994914110707654252012-03-02T09:30:03.455-07:002012-03-02T09:30:03.455-07:00I know!

I would pick Neil Gaiman just because of his awesomeness and creativity in retelling the Jungle Book with his Graveyard Book. That book was genius. Maybe it could be dystopian to keep the dark feel of the Middle Ages. The priest and Esmerelda should totally hook up this time before everyone dies :) And sorry if I just spoiled Hunchback for everyone. That was fun Melissa! I had to think about it all night before something came to me. :DJessica @ Books: A true storyhttp://www.booksatruestory.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-13010530695097669042012-03-01T17:15:38.493-07:002012-03-01T17:15:38.493-07:00Hmmm, well, I was going to play along but that'...Hmmm, well, I was going to play along but that's a lot harder than I thought it would be...I'll have to think about it for much longer.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.com
