LOTR isn't technically a "kids'" book (although <I>The Hobbit</I> is,) but you can read it to a kid without worrying that you might hit on unsuitable material--not the case with <I>Wicked</I>.<BR/><BR/>Hon. D. objects that, while McGuire raised some interesting issues along the way, he failed to develop them. She'd read, and think, "well, okay, that's an interesting point; why don't you explore that a little further and tell us what you think about it," and he never would. As I got the impression the book was a little issues-driven anyway, this is not good. <BR/><BR/>I don't think she was too impressed with the sequel, <I>Son of a Witch</I>, either.CMinorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305306030099439903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-1167770259215284392007-01-02T15:37:00.000-05:002007-01-02T15:37:00.000-05:00"Save a place on the shelf between Alice and The H..."Save a place on the shelf between Alice and The Hobbit ... if you only own three books, and want to sort them alphabetically by author surname."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
