Most people are trying to make some point, but secular writers aren't often criticized for it!<BR/><BR/>I compared and contrasted Wicked the musical and the book on my site (reading the book also because I loved the show), and found that the musical was much more creative than the book.

I respectfully disagree with your take on her not nailing the male pov. I think she absolutely did. He was all talky feely with the one girl 'cause he was lusting her. I think the most impressive thing about A Bigger Life was the way she nailed the male pov. Now, I'm not a male, but I would have believed the book was written by a Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16151988844185350316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29608097.post-89587342552216427712007-08-10T16:45:00.000-07:002007-08-10T16:45:00.000-07:00A Bigger Life: A lot of what didn't feel guy-ish, ...A Bigger Life: A lot of what didn't feel guy-ish, or felt more like how a woman wants a guy to act and think, and maybe I'm wrong, is after the divorce, he maintained that his ex had done nothing wrong and that it was all is fault. Granted, he made a pretty dramatic mistake (I'm sure you can guess what), and in the backstory, he would say what he was frustrated with, but then he would say it was Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470283761189392205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29608097.post-23540576529491684742007-08-10T11:29:00.000-07:002007-08-10T11:29:00.000-07:00I read Wicked and thought it contained an amazingl...I read Wicked and thought it contained an amazingly well-developed world, although it seemed the me the question it was trying to ask (and answer) got copped out on at the end.

A Bigger Life is new to me. I must say, I like thinking of a woman trying to figure out how a man thinks. Would you care to give us an example of this from the book? I probably won't read it, but I'm interested in the places where you think he doesn't react like a man.Real Live Preacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757644935379896122noreply@blogger.com
