Why this must be read: At first it seems like an odd idea, making Ian a fan of fairy tales, but it really works. Their themes are woven throughout the story and the events that Ian experiences. After reading it it's hard to imagine that this isn't exactly how Ian thinks of them.

Most importantly, Ian Chesterton believed in love. He believed in it as earnestly and wholeheartedly as he believed in Einstein and Newton and Aristotle, who replaced his formerly beloved authors when he reached his teens.

In retrospect, his view of love wasn’t particularly different from their scientific theories. Love was just another part of the universe, as ordinary as gravity.

A force.

He knew that it would start acting on his life sooner or later.
