    Night, have you read Maguire's new book Son of a Witch? If so, was it any good?

    I hope he returns to the vocabulary and writing style of his first one, Wicked, with this one. I like the other ones, but they seemed "dumbed down."

    I can see how you would think that, but I would challenge you to go back and re-read some of Hemingway's stuff. Keep in mind that the emotion is not always as effident in what the characters are said to be saying or thinking, but in what motivates them.
