Mungkin hampir semua orang pernah mendengar soal Oz, Dorothy, dan The Yellow Brick Road, tapi berapa yang benar-benar pernah membaca buku ini? Saya belum pernah baca, padahal punya [b:Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West|37442|Wicked The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Wicked Years, #1)|Gregory Maguire|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1302168062s/37442.jpg|1479280], side-story tak resmi dari Oz. Akhir-akhir ini memang banyak dongeng yang sdah dimodifikasi, tapi buku ini (dan pengalaman saya membacanya) membuktikan bahwa yang klasik belum terkalahkan.
Alkisah, dalam misi untuk meminta bantuan pada Penyihir Besar Oz, Dorothy, Toto, Singa Pengecut, Tin Woodman, dan Boneka Jerami harus melewati bermacam-macam rintangan di perjalanan. Mereka berhasil lolos dengan gabungan pemikiran cerdas, keberanian, kebaikan hati, serta kesetiaan; semua nilai yang senantiasa harus diajarkan ulang pada anak. Setiap tokoh yang merendahkan diri mereka dalam buku ini ternyata memiliki kemampuan mengagumkan yang terbukti berguna, dan mereka hanya perlu sedikit bantuan untuk menyadarinya. Nilai moral yang ada di dalamnya sangat mudah dicerna degnan balutan petualangan yang ringan dan menyenangkan. Benar-benar kisah yang bisa diceritakan lagi, dan lagi.
Pendek kata, buku ini jauh lebih menarik daripada isi review saya ;D

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it to be a real page turner I could not put down. It was vastly different to the film (which I do love) but I appreciated this difference. The journeys of the characters in the story version contain a greater level of insight and learning. The crazy imagination of Baum in writing this story is wonderful. Every child should have the opportunity to read or be read this classic story.

I absolutely loved this book! There’s so much more to the story than there is in the movie. There’s even more fantasy involved and so many additional whimsical characters. It feels like more of an adventure with so many more interactions that take place along the way. The story is so vividly descriptive that it plays like a movie in your mind. I also liked the darker elements that you don’t see in the movie like the story of how the Tin Woodman came to be.
