    Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire

    in Historical Fiction

    Posted

    I read Wicked and Confessions Of an Ugly Stepsister about a year ago and thought they were very creative. I read Wicked first and loved it. But I felt that Confessions was a bit of a let down, which is one reason I haven't read Son of a Witch or Mirror Mirror yet. I had forgotten about them so I think I may have to visit my library soon.

    I completely agree. Wicked was... so wickedly good!! Confessions.. not so much. But Son of a Witch.. right back there. So he has this genre and maybe he should stick with the land of Oz. Maguire just released his 4th in the series. I have not read #3 cause I do not want it to end.

     

    cheers...

    Do teenagers still read books?

    Coming from a teenager, lots of teens like to read. Its just hard to find them. I'm obsessed with books and have like, two hundred and something. ( Not kidding! ) I hardly have anybody to talk with about books though, its hard to find somebody who isn't glued to the tv or footie or something. Only my best friend loves to read as much as me(:

     

    I think just as many teens read as had in the past. The key is getting hooked into a series. Once you are... you cannot wait for the next one. That is why Potter (which I loved) and Twilight (which I never read) are so popular. The fact is that there are so many more series out there than there was 10... 20... 30 years ago.

    Worst ever film from a book?

    You know...

     

    Most recent.. has to be Water for Elephants. It's not that the movie was bad.. it was the ending. I was in tears at the end of the book (not going to give anything away) and the end of the movie had no where near that punch. I think they missed out on an incredible chance. Who knows?? Maybe it is the type of ending one can only create with words.

     

    cheers..

    Looking for some horror!

    Voltage...

     

    May not be what you are looking for... but...

     

    Devil in the White City has a serial killer that is just spooky... and it happened. There are 2 stories there... so you would have to deal with the Chicago exposition... which is a fabulous yarn.

     

    Also... The Historian just gave me goosebumps. I mean... Dracula was a serial killer... right?

     

    cheers...
