Comment On Regarding Books Wicked / Son of a Witch (The Wicked Years #1-2)

Love what Gregory Maguire has done to the fairy tales we grew up with. Wicked got me hooked on his writing.

Follows the story of Elphaba's son. If you enjoyed "Wicked" you will enjoy this book too.

I have already finished the first book "Wicked" in this collector's edition book. "Wicked" is very long and the font in this edition is small so it took me quite some time to finish. I really enjoyed the story even though some parts are a little dark in nature. Reading the beginning of this chilhood story I loved, as an adult, was well worth it. I plan to begin reading "Son of a Witch" shorty.

A book from a friend to help an airline flight pass more quickly. This book is the second in a triology. Although I hadn't read the first book or seen the play, Wicked, it was easy to pick up the thread and enter the story. It's essentially a book about what happens after Dorothy has left Oz and the Great Wizard has been deposed. The main character is a young man, who may or may not be the son of the Wicked Witch of the West, and his quest to find a childhood friend who was caught up in the

2nd Book of 3 in the Wicked: Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of The West series.This was a very quick read, only because I craved the story after I read the first one...I sped right through this book. I never expected the end. Mr. Macguire is true genius in repainting the heart and soul of The Wicked Witch of The West...and her life is continued in many ways whether she intended it to be or not.An amazing book created with precise imaginary details and the design of a creative genius.

After reading the two of these I am eternally in shock that the musical was as good as it was

I read "Wicked", but not "Son of a Witch." Sadly, I saw the Wicked musical before I read the book. I thought the stage show had a much smoother narration and filled in more gaps than the book. Much of the book was unexplained, and it did not match with the events from "The Wizard of Oz." I get the idea that Maguire wanted to demonstrate how the story could have been communicated incorrectly in "Wizard," but I felt it was too different to be really enjoyable.
