Title: difficult to follow, not wonderful like other Maguire books
Product review: Similar to other reviewers, I started this book with high hopes since I have enjoyed all of the other books I have read by Gregory Maguire. Sadly, I came to the conclusion that he was under a deadline to write it (projecting that feeling onto the main character who has writer's block) and just wrote the book as a stream-of-consciousness brainstorm. It never solidifies into a cohesive storyline.My recommendation would be: don't let Lost turn you off from other Gregory Maguire books! I've loved Wicked, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, and Mirror Mirror. I've just picked up Son of Witch and I'm already caught up in it.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
