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.

Movie Tie-In
Synopsis
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., The New York Times bestseller and basis for the Tony-winning hit musical, soon to be a major motion picture starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande With millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguire's Wicked is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a novel to revisit for years to come. Wicked relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz , while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film starring Margaret Hamilton (and Judy Garland). In this fast-paced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination. Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin--no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz's most promising young citizens. But Elphaba's Oz is no utopia. The Wizard's secret police are everywhere. Animals--those creatures with voices, souls, and minds--are threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animals--even if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas. Recognized as an iconoclastic tour de force on its initial publication, the novel has inspired the blockbuster musical of the same name--one of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. Popular, indeed. But while the novel's distant cousins hail from the traditions of magical realism, mythopoeic fantasy, and sprawling nineteenth-century sagas of moral urgency, Maguire's Wicked is as unique as its green-skinned witch., This is the book that started it all!

", 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 become 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.

    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 ...

    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!)

    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 ...

    Amazing book

    this is a awsomely fun and sometimes altogether frightful look at the life and times of the missunderstood, mistreated an incredibly awkward green skined wicked witch of the west, her sister (witch of the east), her father, mother, nanny and her friends including bog and a boarding school friend named sait Galenda (northern witch). this story is a biography of sorts for a fictional caracter and takes you on a jurney from her munchkinland childhood, too boarding school, to the emerald city, to the vinkus and finally to her death by the hand of the evil wizard of Oz with the help of the dim wited dorthey Gail and her lion, tin man and scarcrow friends!!! You'll soon find out that wicked is just a state of mind and evil is in the eye of the beholder. This book reminds us of the importance of ...

    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.
