Title: Great premise, terrible execution.
Review: The only reason I even gave this book 1 star, let alone 2, is that it was the basis for the very charming and enjoyable Broadway play. Otherwise the book is just terrible. Maguire has created a wonderful plot line but he bogs it down with so much political detail that it just makes for a boring book to read. I managed to get through the first section and then gave up because I just didn't care anymore.
