Title: Entertaining!
Review: Though Maguire is not likely to win the Pulitzer for thispiece, as a Wizard of Oz fan I found this book a good. I thoroughlyrecommend this book to anyone, even if you're not a big fan of the movie, the book, or fantasy in general. It tells a truer story than the L. Frank Baum or the Warner Bros. versions. The Wicked Witch of the West is called Elphaba and she is not really wicked after all. She's not even much of a witch. She is a misunderstood green skinned woman who had been competing for her father's love all her life. The famed shoes were made for her sister as a token of the father's love. That's why she wanted them so badly. Maguire shatters the cruel immpression that we normally think of the WWW as. She's a likeable lady who's allergic to water (which is why she wears a hat with such a big brim), falls in love, and has abnormally green skin.
