Evaluation Regarding Books Wicked / Son of a Witch (The Wicked Years #1-2)

This review is specifically about "Son of a Witch" since I read "Wicked" over 10 years ago.Some of the world building aspects were hard to follow - though this may be due to the fact I have very vague memories of "Wicked" - so I don't really downgrade my rating of the book for that. One thing I did like was that often Macguire would just drop a comment about something that would be common and obvious to the characters and just leave it at that without explanation. But, it was always for things

I have already finished the first book "Wicked" in this collector's edition book. "Wicked" is very long and the font in this edition is small so it took me quite some time to finish. I really enjoyed the story even though some parts are a little dark in nature. Reading the beginning of this chilhood story I loved, as an adult, was well worth it. I plan to begin reading "Son of a Witch" shorty.

I loved this book because it gave a different side to what was thought, a very one sided character. I believe nothing is as it appears on the surface and there are always two (or more) sides. It made me think about people I see or get a glimpse of at a specific life event or season of their lives and come away with a certain opinion of them. But like it is always said, "You can never judge a book by it's cover."

WICKEDHoly shit what a great book. I've never really looked into the whole Oz / Wicked thing, so thanks to my family for getting me this!I love villain backstories. There's always two sides to a story! I like it way better this way. Elphaba is born with green skin and razorsharp teeth; the first thing she does is bite someone's finger off - and her first word (after refusing to speak but listening carefully) is "horrors". I felt with Nanny and loved her at once. She goes to college, runs away

This book (these books, depending on the edition you're reading) will certainly change the way you look at Oz. More like the darker "Return to Oz" that, depending on your age and what sort of movies you liked growing up, may or may not have haunted many of our nightmares during our formative years, and less like the magical, sweet, (if sometimes somewhat dark), wonderful world of "The Wizard of Oz" that many more have experienced. I'd have to argue that these books made the movies make so much

I loved the first half of Wicked. I was utterly addicted. Then it all fell apart. The writing was superb, don't get me wrong, but there were too many questions and almost NO answers. I read it because I love the West End show but it wasn't anything like it. I feel like it could have been a masterpiece, one of those laugh, cry marvellous books. Instead it just frustrated me. I AM glad I read it. I did like it. It just wasn't what I wanted it to be. I wanted so much more for Elphaba. SO much more

Love what Gregory Maguire has done to the fairy tales we grew up with. Wicked got me hooked on his writing.
