I can't decide whether I like Maguire or not. I somewhat enjoyed Wicked, it's interesting to say the least. Mirror Mirror was...something else. It's always interesting to see someone's interpretation of a well-known story, but Maguire just runs away with it. I wasn't a huge fan of this story.

I started off with Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, and thought it was very good once I was able to get into it. I decided to continue on with this one, not the greatest book I have read! I'm having trouble deciding if I like this author or not!
Between the Borgia's, the runaway storyline, it was mildly entertaining, but not a fantastic book.

From the writer of Wicked comes another fun read. The "true" story of Snow White. Reads like historical fiction intermingled with fantasy. Entertaining and fun. Familiar and off the wall.

Great read and a fun twist on the old standard of Snow White.
Not as good as Wicked - which is one of my favorite books of all time - but still very good and hard to put down. I wasn't disappointed! I love the way Gregory Maguire writes and I look forward to reading more from him
I love Maguire's remakes of classics. Amazing twists and new (adult) ways of thinking about children's tales. Fantastic.
