Title: Lost is a more-than-apt title for this book...
Product review: I wanted to love this book. I really did. After reading "Wicked" and "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister," I had huge expectations of Gregory Maguire. This fell far short of those expectations.This piece of work is a trite, hodgepodge mess. Maguire seems incapable of creating a compelling storyline all on his own. His talent lies in words, not new ideas.There was no real plot to speak of and the story had no true ending, either. It left me completely unsatisfied. I can't imagine anyone truly enjoying or understanding the book. He had a few good ideas, but none of them ever seemed to go anywhere or be explained fully enough to be understood.A better novel would be made of a newspaper editorial- don't bother unless you're seriously bored.
