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.
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!
This book has a lot of Suspense, and it is very exciting in parts. I could really relate to Katniss in her feelings toward killing the other tributes.
This book is amazing. I admire the bravery it took for her to relive all those memories as she wrote about them.
