"In the life of a Witch, there is no after, in the ever after of a Witch, there is no happily; in the story of a Witch, there is no afterword. Of that part that is beyond the life story, beyond the story of the life, there is--alas, or perhaps thank mercy--no telling. She was dead, dead and gone, and all that was left of her was the carapace of her reputation for malice."
I just finished Wicked! Although, it was a major struggle to finish for me, I am glad I did. I thought the plot was rather dry and slow-moving but, in the end, everything sort of came together. It definitely puts a whole different spin on the story of The Wizard of Oz. After reading Wicked, I actually feel really bad for the Wicked Witch and the hand life dealt her. At any rate, I don't think I will continue to read the series; again, it was just a little too dry for me.
At this point, I have several books checked out from the library! I am still reading If I Did It-the OJ Simpson book and, upon Carlin's recommendation, am also checking out Moose by Stephanie Klein. Trying to get as much reading in as I can before graduate school starts! Hope everyone is doing well!

Kerry-
Wicked is much better than Son of a Witch, and as you know, I haven't started A Lion Among Men because I want to re-read Wicken and Son of a Witch... Anyway... Maguire is hit-and-miss. Loved Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister (Cinderella), HATED Lost (no fairy tale adaptation). Couldn't get in to Mirror, Mirror (Snow White)... you get the picture.
I also have that Wally Lamb (The Hour I First Believed) if you're interested!
Someday I may check out Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister but not for awhile. I already finished the OJ book-quick read and pretty interesting.
I do want to borrow Wally Lamb but right now I still have 3 library books to read! Looks like I will be taking a summer course so I better get my book reading in while I can!
