Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire
Megan Koster, July 17, 2007
I was told this would be better than the other Maguire books I'd read, and I think that's true; Wicked creates a more indepth world than I've noted in his other books, a political and religious system that sucked me in. I did feel, though, that near the end of the book he got a little desperate to create a situation in which the Witch would do whatever she needed in order to end up in a puddle of water, and I was frustrated by her apparent descent into madness just when I wanted so badly for her to be a freedom fighter. Guess even a retelling can fall victim to history's eye for the winner.(11 of 19 readers found this comment helpful)
