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.

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.

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.

A great re-telling of a folk tale classic. A grown-up fairy tale with so much in it that makes you stop and think. But, don't make the mistake I made and read it trying to find the similarities. Read it for what it is, fabulous.

I thought that this was a wonderful retelling of the more tradition version we've been used to reading. The author took some interesting twists with his that are a great example of his creativity when it comes to weaving a new story out of an old favorite. I found it a quick read and I had a hard time putting it down because the writing style was simplistic yet beautiful at the same time.

A quick and entertaining read. Maguire is a real master at creating these fictional worlds that stir all five senses. Didn't enjoy it as much as Confessions, but good.

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
