Title: A Waste of Time and Money!
Review: I read to page 200 when I realized I was only still reading because I had spent $12 on the book--not exactly the best of reasons! I had been wanting to read the book for a long time and expected GREAT things because of all of the hype. I was severely disappointed. The plot was non-existent, jumping around, getting me partially interested and then halting, only to continue on somewhere else. All of the characters were extremely unlikeable and unbelievable. The Land of Oz was a wasteland, holding nothing magical or even somewhat representative of the land from the original. Instead, I found a book full of political rantings, which I could care less about, and pages filled with cheap, tawdry sex scenes. Maguire couldn't find an interesting plot, so instead decided to take a cheap shot and expand on his characters' sex lives. I had originally planned on reading Maguire's other novels, but now I know to not to waste my time or money!
