Wicked

By Gregory MaguireThis is a reread for me. I even own it. I really liked it the first time, but I wasn't really in the mood to read it again. You will see why I did read it in not the next post, but the post after. Even though I wasn't in the mood to read this book, I still liked it. It is a retelling of the Wizard of Oz, but it adds so much more. The characters are more real; they have histories and motivations for their actions. I like it. In some ways, I liked reading it more this time around because I wasn't so caught up in getting to end to know the story. I could slow down and really enjoy the history that the author created for each of the characters. If you haven't read it you should.
