Book Review of Wicked (Wicked Years, Bk 1)

Wicked (Wicked Years, Bk 1)
kimbrbee avatar reviewed Not at all the nostalgic story I was expecting on + 4 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1


I think it is over written. I was hoping for a book that would bring you back to the fascination of the original characters and Land of Oz, give some depth into the Wicked Witch and yes make you see a different side to her. But you have to read through so much political and religious views that there were many times I was cursing the author and wishing I never picked up the book. I don't know that I will read another book by this author. They take way too long to get into and then have you struggling to hold on and finish the book.

You do however come away with a new view of the wicked witch and it's one that she isn't wicked at all.

I do still want to see the musical and would hope that the time constraint would not allow for the story to be dragged out as horribly as it was in this book.
