randomly chaotic and frequently mundane

By Gregory Maguire.? I just finished it yesterday.? ? I think that means I’ve read all of Maguire’s? books? centered around classic fairy tales/stories.? I loved Wicked, although I expected to hate it.? Confessions of an Ugly StepSister was almost as good as Wicked, but not quite, and Lost was interesting if not phenomenal.? Mirror Mirror didn’t seem worth reading, to be honest.

But Son of a Witch… this was almost as good as Wicked.? It picks up where Wicked left off, and tells the story of? Liir (Elphaba’s son) and his growing up and making a statement of his own.? There were some parts that seemed a little formulaic, but for the most part it was an interesting yarn and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Now I’m onto a novel by Joe Hill… who happens to be one of Stephen King’s sons.? No, I’m not expecting literary genious just because of who his parents are… but I thought it would be interesting to see his style.
