Taking out of princess-peapod's Happy New Year Wrap it Up Bookbox. I am excited because I have always wanted to read this one!

Book #1 in the Wicked Years series

Book Description:

When Dorothy triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West in L. Frank Baum's classic tale, we heard only her side of the story. But what about her arch-nemesis, the mysterious witch? Where did she come from? How did she become so wicked? And what is the true nature of evil? Gregory Maguire creates a fantasy world so rich and vivid that we will never look at Oz the same way again. Wicked is about a land where animals talk and strive to be treated like first-class citizens, Munchkinlanders seek the comfort of middle-class stability and the Tin Man becomes a victim of domestic violence. And then there is the little green-skinned girl named Elphaba, who will grow up to be the infamous Wicked Witch of the West, a smart, prickly and misunderstood creature who challenges all our preconceived notions about the nature of good and evil.

This is one of those books I was curious about since I loved the movie Wizard of Oz. I really enjoyed this book. Like Animal Farm, it probably has a deeper meaning, but I enjoyed it anyway! I may have only scratched the surface, but I enjoyed it anyway.

I am saving this for my ABC Bookbox, going out soon.

This book is in the ABC (Already Been Crossed) Bookbox.

I am choosing this book from the box to be released elsewhere so it won't have to travel back to JennyC1230. I am sure I can find another reader for this book. I have already read most of another copy of this book and didn't finish it. I am a huge Wizard of Oz fan, but just couldn't get into any of Maguire's fairy tale type books.
