Laurel M. reviewed on 6/10/2010

Having read the story of Oz as a child I couldn't help but wonder about the side of the tale not being told. Then along comes Gregory Maguire and fills in the blanks. The story of Elphaba aka the Wicked Witch of the West is well written; at times moving but alternately funny. Maguire makes the reader truly think about the nature of 'evil' as well as the damage of gossip. Once you pick up this book you won't be able to put it down until you've read every page, and by the time you are done the opinions you held of the original story by L. Frank Baum may well change. Happy Reading :)
