It was not nearly as intriguing as Wicked but it was better described & put together than Mirror Mirror. Again, I think Maguire's limitation to actual historical settings kept it from achieving what Wicked did in my mind's eye. All in all though, I enjoyed this point of view of the Cinderella story from a well-rounded, believable perspective, where the stepsisters were decidedly more the protagonists than the Cinderella character.

not a bad short novella. I would have loved to see more about the characters, but i guess when you start a story with all the characters already involved-even in love- there's not too much development to work with. I would also have loved to see Trent's reaction to Kylie's polyamorous relationship... Who knew those tendencies ran in families? :)

This is great! some parts can be a little trying... but i am drawn to the main character and her struggles, which may be frightening, oh well. Sylvia Plath is a wonderfully dark writer and it's just too bad that she ended things so young.
Love love love this fiction book. I actually learned some great lessons from this one!

This was a nice book...but not great. Interesting story, but something about it just didn't tickle me like I think it could have.
This book was really cute and had a lot of hidden messages. Awesome.
This book was not what I expected, and I liked it. I'm going to have to tread carefully as I review though because the finale of this book is very surprising and I don't want to give it away, because frankly I think that's what ended up making the book. Private Peaceful does read a lot like a young adult novel, which shouldn't be a shocker since that's who it's aimed towards, but you should still give it a try. If you want an easy read that still deals with heavy and thought-provoking subject matters this might be the book of choice. The characters aren't fully well-rounded, but enough so that you can bond with them to let the novel have a little more impact. There's also a brief adjustment period when you have to get used to jumping back and forth between past and present, the fluidity of that is choppy at best. Overall though, Private Peaceful was a touching and shocking read. I would love to know what people thought when they finished the book. Fair? Shocking? Did you even know stuff like that happened? Discuss it with me! Be warned though, if you haven't read the book and don't want to be spoiled, steer clear of reading the comments.

This novel was great fun. It features an intricate, sometimes riveting, storyline and a host of hilarious characters and situations. At times, it had me literally laughing out loud. From start to finish, Laura Ruby manages to keep the reader engaged, entertained and thinking. The story is set in an alternate world, in which most human beings can fly. Most people are lousy at flying, a few are expert enough to do so as professional athletes, and a small number cannot fly at all. Those who cannot fly are often ridiculed as "leadfeet." Birds are the most sought-after pets, and cats are disdained, due to their appetites for birds. Against this backdrop live two hapless children in a Dickensian orphanage, Hope House for the Homeless and Hopeless. Upon entering this strange New York institution, children lose their memories of their previous lives and receive new first names but no last names. The matron, an iron-fisted freak named Mrs. Terwiliger, can't seem to come up with a decent name for any child. Hence, children walk around Hope House being called by bizarre appellations like "Chicken" and "Ruckus." One night, a hapless twelve-year-old "leadfoot" named Gurl (apparently Mrs. Terwiliger never won any spelling bees), raised at Hope House since infancy, makes two life-changing discoveries. One is a special power: she can turn invisible. The other discovery is a stray cat who decides to keep her company and to be her pet. Gurl tries to keep both discoveries a secret, but when Mrs. Terwiliger learns of Gurl's power of invisibility, she decides to exploit it for her own selfish, illegal ends. Complicating matters, a boy who calls himself Bug tries to claim the pet cat for himself. Bug also falls victim to Mrs. Terwiliger's twisted machinations, for he somehow possesses an expert criminal's knowledge of lock-picking, breaking and entering, and disabling electronic alarm systems. Both children are drawn into a scary but exciting quest that leads them into a seedier side of New York City and brings them face-to-face with some rather quirky antagonists. Ruby does an excellent job of arousing her readers' imaginations. Many of the story's seemingly minor, even trivial, details are important, so one who reads this novel should be prepared to exercise his or her memory. The author interwove some urban legends into the plot, which added to the fun. Some story elements seemed a little bizarre, such as the scene involving the dancing pretzel salesmen at the park and the untranslated French dialog at the movie theater. However, those elements didn't detract much from this successful tale. Overall, I would recommend this novel to children aged 9-14 and to their parents.
