Title: Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
Review: I bought this book expecting a delightful fantasy book, geared towards teenagers, but entertaining to adults as well. Boy, was I wrong. I was uncomfortable at the beginning in Gregory Maguire's explicit details of Elphaba's mother's adultrous affairs, but I got through it expecting the story to only have one way to go and that's to get better. Wrong again!! When I got to the part of the symbolic orgy involving a tiger, a drugged university student and a woman, I slammed the book shut in horror as I was reading it in public. I didn't want anyone I knew to see me reading that book. I came home, warned all of my friends about the book, and then promptly threw it in the trash. That's all that this book is good for--trash. If I could give the book 0 stars, I would. I will never buy another book by Gregory Maguire.
