Lost, Gregory Maguire

His books keep falling in my lap. And while none has lived up to the brilliance of "Wicked", they entertain. I am not an afficionado of ghost stories, but this wasn't very ghosty.
On the down side, it takes many chapters of trodding through alternate-type text interspersed with the real story until you understand what's going on, and the resolution is pretty weak.
On the upside, much of it is a fun romp, and it's full of lovely wordage. And it is obviously quite diligently researched. I like some smarts in my books. Rated 4.
