About this product

Product Information

This is the book that started it all! The basis for the smash hit Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Gregory Maguire's breathtaking New York Times bestseller Wicked views the land of Oz, its inhabitants, its Wizard, and the Emerald City, through a darker and greener (not rosier) lens. Brilliantly inventive, Wicked offers us a radical new evaluation of one of the most feared and hated characters in all of literature: the much maligned Wicked Witch of the West who, as Maguire tells us, wasn't nearly as Wicked as we imagined.

Reviews

"Maguire did something truly remarkable with this novel, in managing to inhabit, enlarge, deepen and find new dimensions in a world that had been invented by another writer, and in doing so make something entirely new. It's an astonishing achievement." -- Philip Pullman "Gregory gets the complications and uniqueness of women very well." -- Kristen Chenoweth "At the heart of this remarkable, unforgettable novel is a wildly original premise-- one that only a writer with Gregory Maguire's intellect and daring could have dreamed up: that the Wicked Witch of the West was a real woman, with an actual name, and her own story to tell. It was radical when Gregory first wrote it, and remains radical. It has the power to reshape one's view of the world." -- Winnie Holzman, co-writer of Wicked: The Musical "Long before there was any thought of a musical, I read Wicked. I felt a quiet joy that sisterhood had made its way to the Yellow Brick Road. What happens when a witch, green or otherwise, gets to tell her own story instead of being vilified and misrepresented by dominant cultural authority? We witches know how that turns out!" -- Holly Near "I knew that Gregory Maguire had come up with a genius idea the moment I heard about Wicked. It's a book that has changed a lot of lives, including mine." -- Stephen Schwartz, composer and lyricist of Wicked: The Musical, Maguire did something truly remarkable with this novel, in managing to inhabit, enlarge, deepen and find new dimensions in a world that had been invented by another writer, and in doing so make something entirely new. It's an astonishing achievement.

WICKED
Being the OZ fan that I am, I entered into reading WICKED with much doubt in my mind. Yes, the first couple of chapters were something to get through, but after I figured out a few things that really should have been explained, but weren't, I quickly fell in love with Elphie, and the idea of the premise of the book. Who hasn't asked themselves "what if" , in their own lives, now we're asked "what if", in the realm of OZ. The book does tend to drag in spots, and there are things and people, that I felt needed to be explained in the beginning. Thankfully these things are explained later on, and everything starts to fall into place. Overall, I feel the book is a B+, and something fun for a vacation read. I hope you choose to read WICKED, because it makes you think of your own life and ... Being the OZ fan that I am, I entered into reading WICKED with much doubt in my mind.

WICKED-THE NOVEL
Very interesting read, but if you're expecting a more detailed version of the musical, it's not!!! This story is much darker and there are some graphic and somewhat disturbing passages. Not a "light" read and I would recommend reading it before you okay for it your teenager. Had I known the content before I bought the book for my daughter, I wouldn't have. Great story overall, but not innocent by any means. *(The musical, on the other hand, is fun, funny, light, beautifully done, visually stunning and just plain FABULOUS and if you have the chance-GO!!! I recommend it to or for everyone!)Very interesting read, but if you're expecting a more detailed version of the musical, it's not!!!

Wicked
When Dorothy killed the Wicked Witch of the West, seemingly she saved the land of Oz. Audience members cheered and were glad that the evil crone had finally been eradicated…except those of us who know the witch's story. Some of us are still grieving for her. Most who have read ‘Wicked’ have come to know, and yes, love the one entitled the ‘wicked witch’ who was brutally murdered by Dorothy Gale in the 1939 movie ‘The Wizard of Oz’. As Gregory Maguire informs the world, the poor witch wasn’t evil at all; she was simply misunderstood. In his 1995 novel ‘Wicked', Maguire tells the tale of the world that Dorothy visits long before the young girl ever arrives. Almost forty years prior to Dorothy’s untimely drop amid the Lollipop Guild in Munchkinland, a strange green baby was born unto a priest ... When Dorothy killed the Wicked Witch of the West, seemingly she saved the land of Oz. Audience members cheered and were glad that the evil crone had finally been eradicated…except those of us who know the witch's story. Some of us are still grieving for her. Most who have read ‘Wicked’ have come to know, and yes, love the one entitled the ‘wicked witch’ who was brutally murdered by Dorothy Gale in the 1939 movie ‘The Wizard of Oz’. As Gregory Maguire informs the world, the poor witch wasn’t evil at all; she was simply misunderstood. In his 1995 novel ‘Wicked', Maguire tells the tale of the world that Dorothy visits long before the young girl ever arrives. Almost forty years prior to Dorothy’s untimely drop amid the Lollipop Guild in Munchkinland, a strange green baby was born unto a priest and his wife, and was named Elphaba. Immediately feared because she was different, Elphie began her life as a strangeling, and basically stayed that way. She was not only born green, but she also had sharp, shark-like teeth which she promptly used to bite the finger off of one of the mid-wives that birthed her. They contemplated killing her because they knew she would have a rough life and she scared them, but mercifully they let her live. Elphaba Thropp grew up amid political oppression and tyranny throughout Oz as her father tried to preach away the sins that he thought were upon him, because he thought Elphaba was given to him as a punishment by the Unnamed God. Elphaba meets Galinda Arduenna at Shiz University, where the two young girls attend college. The girls, forced to room together because they lacked chaperones, were not the best of friends at first. Elphie and Galinda made due, however and soon grew fond of one another and had a gang of close friends that they would often gather with. It must be noted that Oz is made up of a great deal of strange characters, from the dwarfs in Munchkinland, to the Quadlings in the Ovvels of Quadling Country, to the “Winkie’s” from the Vinkus, and of course, animals and Animals. Animals (that’s with a capital ‘A’ to denote those with a spirit,or those who can walk and tall and think like humans), like the Cowardly Lion are vast in Oz, and even keep jobs like humans (and are in some cases smarter). That, however is something that the Wizard is trying to change, or Bann. After a shattering happening with Elphie's professor, Doctor Dillamond (a Goat)because of some extensive research he has done to thwart the evil Wizard, Elphaba takes on the notion to try and change the laws of the land. What follows is upheavals, restrictions on Animals, and strange people (like the large goofy Quadlings), an oppressive dictatorship in Oz, and Emerald City soldiers controlling the acts of nearly every citizen in Oz. Being a work of fantasy fiction, based loosely on Frank L. Baum’s ‘The Wizard of Oz’, it's filled with whimsical lands and peculiar beings that one could only conjure up in a dream state. Littered with strange, lewd sexual scenes, ‘Wicked’ is an extraordinary work of fiction that makes us question what really happened in Oz. It’s different than any other book that I have ever read, and I couldn't, and did not want to put it down. This story of the unpopular yet adored Elphaba Thropp is a unique work of art that can hold anyone entranced in its spell. When Gregory Maguire penned this gem, one of the most wonderful and beloved character’s of all fiction was born in Elphaba. Wicked truly lives up to it's name

Didn't live up to my expectations
This book appealed to me because the Wizard of Oz is one of my all time favorite movies. I found this book to be " Ok ", not exciting. There were parts of the story that didn't really follow the story line of the movie but worked for the book. I really don't care for the author's style of writing. It was difficult to read and I felt he had some content in the story that really had no purpose. I would recommend it to anyone interested in OZ, although I would tell them to get it at the library.This book appealed to me because the Wizard of Oz is one of my all time favorite movies.
