Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Harper Fiction) 1522 reviews Gregory Maguire
Harper, 2007
Truly Bizarre But Impossible to Put Down
I suppose that if I was going to take a famous children's story and make an adult novel out of it, I'm not sure I would have chosen something based on the Wizard of Oz. Maybe "Blueberries for Sally," where it turns out that the missing father from the story had been killed in a gangland slaying ...

With Roots in Heaven : One Woman's Passionate Journey into the Heart of her Faith 14 reviews Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, Tirzah Firestone
Amazon Remainders Account, 1999
A Really Good Book for Returnees to Judaism
+ Fantastic Book + A Kindred Spirit
I was a little taken aback by some of the caustic reviews of Rabbi Firestone's book, claiming that it was "self-centered" and "narcissistic."
Well, duoh, folks --- it's a memoir! What else would it be about other than the author?
Also, some of the reviewers seem to be offended by Rabbi ...

Pocket, 1998
Read aloud & loved by all on a rainy camping trip
+ Very good book. Not happy, but good. + A quick read despite the 465 pages
We went on a camping trip with a bunch of teenagers 16 & above and all it did was rain, so to pass the time, we took turns reading aloud, and just could not put this book down.

The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy Boxed Set! Anne Rice, A.N. Roquelaure 1 review A.N. Roquelaure
Plume, 1999
I adore this series
I first read this series when I was 17 and three years later I still love it. Many others are turned off by this series because of Beauty being the "Mary-sue or Mary-jane" type character (think MJ from spider-man) but what they do not realize is that Beauty is only 16 when the story begins, she ...

This book was written very well. I had the creeps while I was reading it. It reminded me of the movie "Children of Men" and the book "The Giver". The entire time I was reading this book, I kept thinking of a certain female vice presidential candidate. I am afraid that she would love the form of ...
