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

4.0

I wouldn't say this book kept me enthralled until the very end, but that's also probably in part because I am not as familiar with The Wizard of Oz as many readers may be. I will say that one doesn't have to have seen the movie to be able to follow the narrative, but it does make things more interesting. I enjoyed the twists towards the end, but I can't say I was absolutely impressed by this book. I would have given it three stars, but the writing itself was beautiful. I do plan on reading the sequels in the series now as I'm curious to find out where the author takes the story from here.
