Have you guys read his books? I've read two -- Wicked, and more recently Son of a Witch -- and I'm struck at how different the two books are. Wicked, amazing. Son of a Witch, not so much. Son of a Witch started slow and ended confusingly and for the most part I think Maguire tried to hard to be profound.
Anybody agree? Disagree? Let's have a discussion. |

I have his other two books, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister and Mirror, Mirror. Confessions is pretty good. I've been wondering if I should read Son of a Witch, but now that I've read your reply, I don't think I'd want to waste my time on a book like that.
