I found this the most accessible of Nietzsche's books because it comes closest - especially in the second essay - to a straight exposition of his theories. The trouble is I liked it too much to paraphrase anything. I will only give one quote, which you will notice is excessively lengthy:Section 13...
My full review can be found over at SFF Book Review. As someone who came to the book only having heard the musical CD (yeah, i actually still bought that one on CD), I was positively surprised at the adult tone that Maguire has. This is not a children's book and it has little in common with the co...
(See my review of Wicked for the beginning of the story) After finishing Wicked, I immediately began Son of a Witch and was unable to put it down. Another absolutely brilliant book from Gregory Maguire. I cannot wait to "sink my teeth" into the rest of the novels. An amazing writer.
I love the Wicked series books for the fact that apparently they are "NOTHING LIKE THE PLAY!" to the point that it angers fans of the stage version. If you have time, read some of the one-star reviews for the first book (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37442.Wicked). It's hilarious how mad these ...
I liked the writing and language of this book. However, my complaint, as with the middle books of any series, is that it just feels like a set-up/stepping stone for the rest of the series. I also wish that we'd gotten more closure in at least one quest Liir had (trying to avoid spoilers). I will ...
Excellent retrospective of Tanith Lee's short fiction covering a great variety of genres. Tanith Lee 's style is haunting and exquisite. I especially love her fantasy tales. It's been awhile since I read this. Time for a reread.
I will admit I did not enjoy Wicked very much, but when I saw this book heavily discounted on Kindle I thought I'd give it a shot. I thought the book was okay - at times a bit difficult to follow - but in actuality not as interesting as Wicked. Wicked had the advantage of an engaging main character ...
I love Maguire's style and use of language. As he writes, I can hear his voice narrating and performing (which is why I won't spoil it with the audiobook, Maguire himself is a wonderful performer, and it was a delight to see him in person.) Lion is not as compelling as the previous two books, but ga...
