    The story started out well enough, but I quickly grew bored with it. The writing is unengaging and rather bland throughout. And for some reason, the author seems to think the reader wants to know when any character decides to take a piss. Literally. I'm sure there's some symbolism there I didn't care to figure out.

    The last part of the book was better than the rest (following as it did hundreds of pages of boring political and religious machinations and thinly veiled allegories on civil rights) but by the time I reached those final 100 pages I was reading not to find out what happened, but just to get through the thing.

  • It was fun to listen to this talke from a different perspective. So what really happened??? :) This might be a fun book to read for an adult book club. At times I thought it was a little drawn out.

  • OMG I HATED THIS BOOK!! I had heard quite a bit about this book, so I decided to read it. I think it is the most horrible book I've ever forced myself to finish. I kept hoping it would get better, but that never happened. I was more than disappointed- I was disgusted by this book.

  • Interesting idea but I think I like the musical storyline better and I'm glad they made the changes to it.

Cuando Dorothy triunfó sobre la Malvada Bruja del Oeste en el cuento clásico de L. Frank Baum, solo supimos su lado de la historia. ¿Pero qué de su enemiga primordial, la misteriosa bruja? ¿De dónde vino? ¿Qué fue lo que la volvió tan mala? ¿Cuál es la verdadera naturaleza de la maldad?

Gregory Maguire crea un mundo de fantasía tan rebosante y vívido que nunca veremos a Oz de la misma manera. Wicked describe una tierra en donde los animales hablan y aspiran a ser tratados como los ciudadanos de clase alta, los munchkins buscan la comodidad y estabilidad de la clase media y el Hombre de Hojalata se convierte en víctima de la violencia doméstica. Luego tenemos a la niña de piel verde llamada Elphaba—quien crecerá y se convertirá en la famosa Malvada Bruja del Oeste—una criatura inteligente, espinosa y malentendida que desafía todas nuestras nociones preconcebidas sobre la naturaleza del bien y el mal.
