Overall I found the movie to be quite interesting and exciting at times but a bit slow in others. The story itself was very clear to me and didn’t cause any confusion. It had a good flow also, just as you were on the verge of falling into boredom with a scene they switched it up on you to keep you

Since I read Wicked the other day, and Son of a Witch is next in The Wicked Years series, I immediately started on it. This one is he story of the boy that is implied to be the Wicked Witch of the West's son in Wicked. All through the book you don't know for sure if he really is or isn't her son until the very end. I like Maguire's writing style, but the book isn't as good as Wicked. You are so far removed from The Wizard of Oz at this point, that I would venture to say the book has nothing to do with it at all. Like I said, the book is interesting and well written, but I wouldn't read it a second time. I was disappointed by the loose ends left at the conclusion of the book and by the lead character's dirtbaggish behavior from time to

You will laugh and will cry in this fun and crazy story, readers will be glued to their seat. Fire country is about the post-apocalyptic world.This is the first book of the country series it starts with a girl Siena she is trying to survive in her village from the life-destroying disease known as the fire she is an outcast who makes friends that help her become stronger. What I personally dislike about the book is that it takes a while for the action to start picking up it took until basically page 80 to start picking up. The good part about the book is that the plot is easy to understand and it’s easy to pick up and enjoy! The outlandish setting as I could describe it makes it like you're looking through glass down at the character living

He reassures himself that she didn’t feel pain and that “Her darling one wish would be heard” (57), which he probably thought would have been to be with him forever. In his mind he doesn’t have any qualms about his actions because he thinks she wanted what happened to her. The speaker also knows that he did do something wrong. He states at the end, “And all night long we have not stirr'd, / And yet God has not said a word!”

His lack of love made him lash out at her in a way that would hurt her.

Overall, the whole show was satisfying. I am not familiar with the show Escape from Happiness, so it was a new experience for me when I watched the production. Although it was a great play, there were two issues I had with it. The telling of the story took a large chunk of time. In today’s society time is one thing that we lack. We have all these things going on and a two hour and a half play isn’t something that I would like to spend my two hours watching. I could have loved it more if it was short and sweet. In fact, the majority of the play was a build up to the point of the character getting beat up and the situations that were going on in their families. While not familiar with Escape from Happiness, I do know the two thieves were notorious outlaws. I was disappointed I did not get to witness scenes of them making a name for themselves. Sure, they did a couple bad things, but nothing in the production led me to believe they were as big as their infamous real-life counterparts. As when I was thinking about it, I came to agree with myself that the conclusion of the first part was too abrupt and left much to be desired. I
