Title: Lost Me
Product review: Unfortunately Gregory Maguire tried too hard. For two hundred and fifty pages I couldn't close this book. The subtle intermingling of supernatural with plain coincidence left me dying to find out just what would happen to Winnie Rudge. Unlike many other reviewers, for me the fault came not with the intertwining of Scrooge mythology or the narrators fascination with children's literature as both themes were masterfully handled. The problem with this book is that the author,much like his main character, didn't know where the book was going when he started. The last one hundred pages were unbelievable and swiftly undecided. Rather than choosing between the supernatural and a character's dementia he went after both. The result is a good idea poorly executed. To the reader it seems as though Maguire couldn't make up his own mind and the book suffers for it.
