Title: Maguire should stick to fairy tales
Product review: Avoid this book at all costs. It is far from Maguire's witty, sharp fairy-tale spin-offs. He took Jack the Ripper, Scrooge, phony clairvoyants, mysterious symbols, possession or ghosts or whatever, and a dozen other obscure plot devices, put them in a blender, and dumped it into this book. Maguire is terribly inconsistent, the writing is choppy, the characters are extremely shallow, the dialogue tries too desperately to be smart, and story fails as a whole.
