mellen, I've read Wicked, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, and Mirror Mirror. I think "Confessions" was my least favourite, but they were all good!

Hmph, well now I don't have to answer. :huffy

No spoilers for me. I've read the book! :) I think I interpret from your posts that you're shocked that those scenes even appear in books at all. The scenes certainly weren't being glorified.
