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

4.0

If historical-fiction is a "thing" then Maguire has firmly established "alternate-fiction" as a legitimate genre with his detail rich backstory of L. Frank Baum's villainous witch. I came away reminded that evil is often a matter of perception and revisiting childhood literature with an adult perspective can be a lot of fun.
