Title: from the Italian translator
Review: I'm about to finish translating Wicked for the Italian publisher who chose to buy it, here is my opinion: parts 1 and 2 are ok, but the rest is just a deadly, endless, pointless and pretentious bore. Maguire really seems to have been paid by the word: ok, he is a really learned man, but he doesn't have a clue as to how a decent, credible and intriguing plot is built. It just doesn't go anywhere: as a normal reader, I would have dropped it long ago.
