Book Review of Wicked (Wicked Years, Bk 1)

Wicked (Wicked Years, Bk 1)
JujuGirl avatar reviewed on + 88 more book reviews


Elphaba (the witch) is not a simple character, and Oz is not a simple, fairy tale land. In Wicked, we get to see the history behind "The Wizard of Oz." Wicked is very much a literary work of art. It is a book of social and political commentary, full of people that remind us of our own acquaintances and packed with situations we find ourselves in--or find ourselves avoiding--all too often.

This is an entertaining story, but it is also a story that makes you think. Highly recommended!
