The Broke and the Bookish : In Which Snickers Tackles Alice Hoffman and Tasseography.
I've never read any Alice Hoffman but I'm thinking that this won't be the book I'll start with. I've heard similar things about her writing so I'm going to have to at least give her a chance.
This totally sums up how I felt about this book too. Disappointed I didn't like it more but I kind of kept going to see if it would redeem itself. In the end, I didn't find anything I connected to which was kind of how I felt in reading The River King.
