"The Next Queen of Heaven" Book Review



The Next Queen of HeavenThe Next Queen of Heaven by Gregory Maguire
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I just couldn't finish this book. As much as I love Gregory Maguire's work, this was horrid. Maybe if it was a movie; there were some funny lines in it that might've been a nice dark humor movie with the right cast, but reading it was bad. Just couldn't find a single character I wanted to follow.

There is one good thing I can say: the back cover looks great. It actually sold the book for me because I wasn't sure if I should get it. Wonderful job Robin Bilardello.

"Matchless" Book Review


Matchless: A Christmas StoryMatchless: A Christmas Story by Gregory Maguire
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A very quick read. I must've finished it in half an hour. But still a nice alternative to the original story, which while beautiful and heartfelt, always made me tear-up. The drawings were quite cute and I thought it a nice story, but still not sure if I want to keep it though.
