The Government Manual for New Wizards

A Dirty Job: A Novel
by Christopher Moore
I really enjoyed the ride but the ending became overtly predictable. Moore’s dark comedy was fun.

The book and the movie use two separate paths but ultimately end up in the same place. I enjoyed both.

The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid: A Memoir
by Bill Bryson

A decent ending to the trilogy. Dr. Malone became a weak plot device but I enjoyed finding out what happened to all the other characters.

I picked up the boxed set after a recommendation from a friend. They’re aimed toward a much younger audience but I still enjoyed them. Light, quick reading with a little bit of fractured fairytale twists.

The Neverending Story
by Michael Ende
It was interesting to see the differences between the book and the movie I watched as a kid. By the end I was enjoying the book but the movie won out for me. The movie got bonus points for changing the world to Fantasia, the original name is Fantastica.
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
by Gregory Maguire
Wicked not only describes a possible background story for The Witch but also causes you to empathize with Elphaba.
Now I just need to see the musical.
