Book Reviews of What-the-Dickens: The Story of a Rogue Tooth Fairy
Book Review: Different From What I expected
Summary: 3 Stars
Although I'm not quite sure what I expected. Something more along the lines of Wicked, I suppose.
But this has a different charm, I guess, there's a story in a story, which isn't always the best set up, although Maguire pulls it off. Just about. It's aimed at quite a younger audience, which is obviously an important factor.
It just didn't impress me. The title was a lot to live up to, and I felt the whole idea was unexplored. It wasn't a bad novel, just, well, a bit basic?
I'm hesitant in saying this, because I've changed my mind about Maguires work before... but I just don't feel like it lived up to it's potential at all. Average. My reccomendation: borrow it from the library, or off a friend. No need to buy it.
