]]> Comment on Out of Oz by Liz http://things-she-read.org/2011/12/19/out-of-oz/#comment-797 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 18:00:04 +0000 http://things-she-read.org/?p=1166#comment-797 I just finished reading “Out of Oz”, and I liked it well enough. I loved “Wicked”, and frankly that book was a tough act to follow. I view “Son of a Witch” as more of a place-holder than anything else, but it was still likable. “A Lion Among Men” was more interesting to me, since it dealt more with one of the original characters than with a creation we had to learn to care about…and I did learn to care about Liir. “Out of Oz” was a nice finish, though I would have liked to have a few more of the loose ends tied up. And–call me strange, if you like–I also would have liked more of a back-story for Puggles the Butler. Or, at least, to have read a bit about what happened to him while the novel was happening.

Anyway, “Out of Oz” did not disappoint!

I enjoyed it, but not as much as Shanghai Girls and Dreams of Joy. If you’ve read and enjoyed Memoirs of a Geisha, you may like Snow Flower.

Especially since I can’t afford to travel very much…Anyway, never read Lisa See before thought I’ve seen her books around. Have you read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan? I’ve been tempted to read it..especially before the movie comes out!

I gave in to the allure of the series…

Both sound awesome, but this is a stand-alone and I fear getting hooked on yet another series :P
