Title: Wicked
Review: I'd been hearing great things about Wicked and Confessions of an Ugly Step-Sister for quite awhile, so I finally read Wicked. And I was blown away. It's a book that you can't put down. Maguire's Oz is a far cry from the original Oz, but it's presented with such radiant clarity and so dynamic that you instantly feel part of the setting. The characters are beautifully developed, despite my fears that Maguire would rest most of their personality traits on what the reader remembered from the movie or from the original books. An amazing twist on a classical story, Maguire's portrayal of the Wicked Witch of the West (aka Elphaba) gives a new face to evil, a new persepective on what we normally take at face value. An enjoyable yet thoughtful read!
