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 did read "Wicked". Thought it was beautifully written. This man puts a lot of work and thought into his writing. I've been tempted to read his other books, but just never got around to it. Maybe someday, but i have heard that Wicked was his best book, so it would be hard to just pick up another one of his books that were only "okay"
