Good story but felt like a chore to read. I loved Maguire's Wicked and Tales of an Ugly Stepsister. Son of a Witch was tolerable but I felt like it was overwritten. I felt the same way about this book. The little supernatural teasers weren't enough excitement to make muddling through the endless monologue of the narrator. It reminded me of someone who is high...and as a result says 200 words to get out what should be a five word statement. I stayed up till 2 am last night to finish the book just to be done with it. I liked the story line, but the payoff in the end wasn't worth comprehending the English jargon and self-indulgent ramblings.

Love. I love this book. I have read all 4 of his oz books, the Cinderella one, the snow white one and by far this was my fave. It wasn't nearly as slow starting as all the others, and let's be honest it takes Mr. Maguire a while to get into it and you just have to suffer through...this book was a great modern piece full of crazy people, possessed animals, supposed ghosts, and a stubborn broken heart all wrapped up in miserable yet somewhat romantic English weather. In fact reminiscing over this read makes me want to pick it up again...

Slow to start, but then.... This book was slow at the beginning or didn't seem like it was going to lead to anything. But it finally got interesting about half way through. Generally I don't have the patience for something so slow, but I like the author and I had alot of sleepless nights when I was 9 months pregnant. So I should say I was pleasantly surprised and glad I stuck with it.

Ugh. So boring.. I have been trying so hard to become a real fan of Maguire’s. I loved the book Wicked so deeply. The incredible creativity required in order to take a deeply two-dimensional character written by another author a hundred years prior — and to do this so skillfully was a revelation to me and I imagine many others It seems as though what Mr. Maguire believed is that we all adored his prose, his syntax, his turn of a phrase. He’s not terrible at those things — he does know how to weave a lot of detail into a story — but he’s no Hemingway. I’m not either, so its not my place to expect that I have some position from which I get to decide whether or not he’s published as an author, or if he must abdicate the seat where The Writer Who Thoroughly Reimagines 2-Dimensional Characters Conceived By Others” sits or something. But a similar thing occurs sometimes just after we’ve started dating someone new. At first they seem great and we love every moment of the first couple of weeks. But then after enough time together I realize that if I have to listen to this person describe one. more. item. that I am going to need to jab my eardrums out with an ice pick. The fact that he wrote so much of his canon about my family and my family’s history before here makes it even harder for me to ditch all of this. Gregory Maguire I am hereby breaking up with you. I wish you and all those readers who think I’m crazy the best of luck. There are some readers out there who are a perfect fit for you. I’m just not one of them.
