I like fairy tales. This means that I was pretty sure I would enjoy The Wager. And I did – after I got about halfway through the book. Before that – not so much. I could not seem to get attached to Don Giovanni. I didn’t really care whether he won – or the devil won. (Though I was pretty sure the devil wasn’t going to win…) If it hadn’t been a Cybils book, I’d have probably put it down before Don Giovanni met Cani.
Now that I’ve finished it, I can say that I’m glad I stuck with it. I do wish it hadn’t been quite so slow in the beginning, though.
(Two more cybils left! I’m going to do it!!!!)
