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 to bump this.
Wicked is one of my all-time favorite books. I was surprised at how much I liked it and was even more surprised at the humor in it. I also read Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, which was all right. I think Wicked appeals more to me because it's tragic and as evil as she appears towards the end, you can't help but feel sympathy for Elphaba. |
