Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister was the first Gregory Maguire book i had read. I picked it up really cheap at a "middle of the mall" book sale tables because it was ripped but the title was too interesting to resist, that and the art work of the cover.
*spoilers*
The POV part comes right at the end when you think you have been hearing the story of one of the ugly stepsisters the whole way through but it is actually the sister that is mute and they think retarded. Great twist and great POV switch up. Really should re-read it.
Once again spoilers.
Snow Crash was my first Neal Stephenson book book second hand (its bee well loved and I wont lend this copy to anyone because its about to fall a part.) There are a couple of scenes in it from the point of view of a dog that has gone through a cyberman type process but that isn't obvious to begin with. Good little tension builder.
So I couldn't decide today so i gave you all two but i don't think anyone will complain.
