Wicked

Just finished reading Wicked by Gregory Maguire.

The book has an very interesting plot. It tell the story of the Wizard of Oz from the perspective of the Wicked Witch of the West!

We get to meet Elphaba, a green skinned, pointy chinned baby with razor sharp teeth. We follow her through her teen years until she matures into her namesake. The book is not a simple fairy tale about talking animals and a brat trying to get home. I continue to say that everything is relative. After reading this (and the original Wizard of OZ. The book was included in my digital copy) I can see why events unfolded as they did. Who would of thought that the Witch was actually...good?!?! It was Oz that was the bastard! And Glinda! She wasn't good at all! BBut I get ahead of myself...

All the relationships between the main characters in The Wizard of Oz are fleshed out and the various motives that drive their behaviors are revealed to the reader. When you ultimately read The Wizard of Oz, you realize that the story was simply and end to a much longer series of events.

You know, Dorothy had no fault for any of this, but she really fucked things up for the Munchkins & for the Animals. That bitch...

Grab a copy!
