A review by byashleylamar
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire

5.0

I am a big fan of the Wizard of Oz and I was told that I would never look at the movie the same way again so I was pretty apprehensive about reading this book but it was wonderful. I knew once I finished it that there were going to be very mixed reviews about this book. It is a book that you will either love (like me) or loathe (like so many others). It is complex and a bit pretentious and the language is very elaborate but the story is wonderful, especially if you pay attention. It is not a quick easy read and it is not a light fluffy tale. It is deep and complex and satirical.
