I love how this book captures what her childhood was like, the way she felt. As a hearing person, I will never understand how isolating deafness can be, so this book can really be an eye opener into how people's differences can make them feel alone.

I never use the words humanist or humanitarian, as it seems to me that to be human is to be capable of the most heinous crimes in nature.

I really enjoyed all the variations in the different stories. It really illustrates how different people can take a similar idea and make it their own.

This book was creative and fun. Definitely a fun twist to Christmas stories!

Creative take on classic stories. Gregory Maguire makes these stories come alive again in a hilarious way.

"You must acknowledge that a good heart is a thing that brains cannot create, and that money cannot buy. Perhaps, after all, it is I who is the richest man in all the world."

"You may have noticed that if one has money without brains, he cannot use it to advantage; but if one has brains without money, they will enable him to live comfortably to the end of his days."

"That proves you are unusual," returned the Scarecrow. "And I am convinced that the only people worthy of consideration in this world are the unusual ones. For the common folks are like the leaves of a tree, and live and die unnoticed."

This book is really enlightening for those who don't know how bad child abuse can be. A first hand description of one young boy's hell.

This book has so much more than the movie, which I know most books do. But the book and the movie are so different that it's almost like they are entirely different stories. So many funny things happen in this book, I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

This book is amazing. I admire the bravery it took for her to relive all those memories as she wrote about them.

"You don't love somebody because of their looks or their clothes or their car. You love them because they sing song that nobody but you can understand."
