This is my favorite G.M. book out of the four I've read. The chronological setting and environment is extremely interesting, the characters are thoroughly drawn and have tangible personalities and I really did not see the ending coming. It's a nice, dense, rewarding read. Cliff1976 has to read this before we can share it.

I got through it pretty quickly because I enjoyed it — particularly as compared to Wicked. Maybe it's because this is almost like historical fiction and Wicked is a lot more fantasy — which tends to bug me anyway.

I'm glad my wife pushed me to read it. Who's next?

Since Cliff finished with this, I decided to do a bookray with it. I'll maintain the list of recipients here.

I haven't read any other books by this author but I did enjoy this one. It was fun to read.

I received this today. I am a big goof! I received this book in another ring that I forgot about and now I have it twice. I am very sorry for my mistake and I have PM'ed nwpassage to send it to them ASAP.

Thanks again and sorry about the dupe!

Released on Monday, October 25, 2004 at about 1:00:00 PM BX time (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada) at Controlled Mail Release in N/A, Quebec Canada.

RELEASE NOTES:

Mailed today to nwpassage. Sorry about the delay. I had mother health concerns and then dog health concerns so it was crazy.

Thanks again!

Book arrived today! I am looking forward to reading it. I have heard a lot of great things about Gregory Maguire and am curious to see for myself. I'd better go get started... :)

Finished! I enjoyed this book but was vaguely disappointed. I think that, because I have heard so much hype about this author and his books, I expected to be completely enchanted. Instead, the book was only a very good read. :) I was impressed enough that I will seek out the other books by this author, especially since my boyfriend has also expressed an interest.

Many thanks to MarahSulloy for sharing this book!

The next person in line for this book, Eucalia, is in the middle of a big move and has asked to be skipped for now. So, I will have this in the mail to tantan in Australia ASAP.

Mailed today. The post office said it will take 6-8 weeks to get to Australia.

Received in the mail today. This is a couple down on the pile, but I'll get to it as soon as I can.

I loved this! It kept me reading all the way through, and even though I had some idea of how things would end I enjoyed every minute of the read. Definitely a wonderful portrayal of the Cinderella story, and utterly believable. This will be on to the next person within the week.
