Product Description
When Dorothy triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West in L. Frank Baum’s classic tale, we heard only her side of the tale. But what about her arch-nemesis, the mysterious witch? Where did she come from? How did she become so wicked? And what is the right scenery of evil?
Gregory Maguire makes a fantasy world so rich and plain that we will never look at Oz the same way again. Wicked is about a land where animals talk and strive to be treated like first-class citizens, Munchkinlanders seek the comfort of middle-class stability and the Tin Man becomes a victim of domestic violence. And then there is the small green-skinned girl named Elphaba, who will grow up to be the infamous Wicked Witch of the West, a smart, prickly and misunderstood creature who challenges all our defined notions about the scenery of excellent and evil.

I rate this book so low because of the brassy topics reviewed in the book. Topics involving things that should never be written about. I do not recommend this book to anyone who uphold high morals of language and propriety.

I heard this book was very in, it was even made into a certain musical comedy. I was expecting ointments on how to turn your skin green, be extra wicked, attach wings to tiny and honestly frightening monkeys ect. but all I got was a dull tale about talking animals and a very in a well loved girl. They made this Galinda character apeear more in and well loved than I, which entirely untrue. When I read about the huge clock, I was appalled because huge clocks are entirly not in, and therefore out. Rubbish. Don’t buy this book. It is an out book. Therefore, it is NOT in! The part where she has an affair is kind of in though. After all, I’m having one.

I chose this book for my book club lacking having read it first. Largest mistake EVER! This book is a MESS. The leader lacks any real focus. He needed an editor terribly. The tale needed to be stripped down to its essence and then written in a straight-forwards way. I felt no closer to knowing what really made the Wicked Witch of the West who she was. Also, I have to agree with many others that the sexual content was not only completely unnecessary, but overly gratuitous and revolting. I bought this book and rather than loan it out, or give it away, I am throwing it away (something I have NEVER done before).

The tale of Alphaba, Wicked Witch of the West, was reasonably appealing. But the liberal agenda used in Maguires’ writing was overpowering. Where else can one find political corruption, equal rights for all, animal rights, sexuality than in the liberal arena. What is Maguire trying to promote in the book; the tale of the Wicked Witch or his ideals?

This book is trash, it is not appealing, nor does it have depth. The leader has a sick mind and uses brassy language and descriptions, and takes away the innosence of the wizard of oz. I stopped reading this book into the third chapter, and realised, ‘why am i reading this filth?”.
I used the book as toilet paper for my dog and cat, and they too were reluctant to let the filty words touch their bums.
