Good book and worth the money!! This book is based off the musical not the movie by the way.

Opposite of the musical
This took multiple attempts to get into, both reading and listening to the audio book.I actually think this broke me, it is not my usual genre of book and once I’d finished it I found it hard to get into another book. Once I did get into the book it gripped me but it did take a while.

Not for kids!
I don’t usually read non fiction but I thought I’d give this a good. Good work with great storyline. There is a bit of the book that’s not for children. I haven’t watched the film yet so it’ll be interesting to see if it’s matched up. I’ve passed the book on to a friend to read.

Big hit and affordable
My granddaughter loved the book big hit in school.

Obviously I picked this up because of the current hype about the Wicked film (which by the way is incredible) and expected a light hearted retelling from the Wicked Witch’s point of view. Instead I got a beautifully profound novel about good and evil.The way Maguire has written these well loved characters is seriously superb; we are never in any doubt of their motivations, each has a clear moral standard of their own which is thoughtfully explored throughout the book.The plot is equally charming and disturbing, the political landscape is well developed, and the tension oozes off every page.I loved it and would recommend it to anyone be they a Wicked fan or not.Dazzling and surprising, I plan to continue the series and immerse myself in Gregory Maguire’s beautiful writing once again.PS. It is NOT a children’s book

Not the play or movie.
Although I was warned this was not the story I’ve seen on stage and cinema I still found where the inspiration and story came from. This was a difficult read for me (dyslexic here), with lots of twists and turns, jumping timelines & made-up words but I enjoyed the story minus the violence but it gave the story flow, meaning & background.Will be reading the next book soon
