Review: Something Wicked
- By Susan Harkins
- Published March 17, 2009
- GENERAL FICTION REVIEWS
Author: Alan Gratz
ISBN: 978-0-8037-3666-5
Publisher: Dial Books
Alan Gratz has done it again. Something Wicked, a
modern version of Shakespeare's Macbeth is a treasure. This companion
piece to Something Rotten (Hamlet) makes Shakespeare fun. This book
has it all -- mystery, murder, romance, a cool hero, and a sense of
humor. Gratz does a great job of drawing you into the story quickly,
keeping you entertained, your curiosity peeked, and occasionally,
making you laugh right out loud. Most importantly, Gratz doesn't
expose the murderer until the right time.
