Helpful Score: 8

Everytime I start one of Gregory Maguire's books, I am reminded that his style takes some getting used to. Once with the flow, however, I am happily on a new adventure. I loved Wicked, and liked Son of a Witch and A Lion Among Men is a worthy addition to the series. I would agree that nothing is resolved in the books. Questions are posed that I expect--and hope--will be answered in the next installment. That is how the original OZ books struck me, as well. Each book a little more about the old characters and a slew of new ones to look forward to learning more. Anyone who has read the series so far, and enjoyed it, is probably asking what exactly did happen to the Scarecrow after he left the limelight....or was it the Scarecrow at all?
