Mon 1/10/2005 2:15p | I've been trying to read Mirror Mirror for a year now, and I haven't been able to get into it. Since I started reading that, I have read about ten books. Don't know what it is about that one.

Mon 1/10/2005 2:18p | Pssttt, P_B - I don't blame you - I had to fcorce msyelf to get through bothg Mirror, Mirror and Lost. Wicked and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, OTOH, I had NO problem getting into and plowing right through. Seems like sometimes Gregory Maguire hits a home run and other times he fouls out. |

Mon 1/10/2005 2:33p | Yeah, I think that I will have to read those instead. I heard that those were very good and that Mirror Mirror and Lost were just marginal. I read The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons in about four days each, but then it took me about a month to read Deception Point by the same author. It was good, but not as good.
Ya win some, ya loose some...

I just finished Shopaholic and Sister. I found that my fears were very keen. It was a silly premise, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
This is the fourth in the Shopaholic Series and it follows the wackiness of Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) as she returns from her whirlwind 10-month honeymoon. It seems her father had a tryst with a stewardess two years before her birth and spawned a sister. If you've read the first three books, you'd know how crazy this plotline seems, her father NEVER came across as that type of guy.
Anyway, it's very light reading. I started it last night and finished it at work today. The charming end is tied up nice and neat as usual. I can get past the new sister, but I sure miss the shopping sprees and scenes including Becky's best friend Suze (who was nearly absent) from the earlier novels.
I give it a B.
