A take-off on "The Wizard of Oz," "Wicked" describes the attempt of a witch named Elphaba to live forthrightly in a totalitarian Oz.

Book Reviews:

"I fell quickly and totally under the spell of this remarkable, wry, and fully realized story....Elphaba--the Wicked Witch of the West--is as scary as ever, but this time in a different way; She's undeniably human. She's us."

- Wally Lamb ()

"A glorious frolic, a feast of language, a study of good and evil, and a massive history of the fabulous land of Oz."

- Jane Langton ()

"Funny and serious, pulsing with imaginative energy and encompassing political thriller and moral reflection, this is truly a fabulous novel."

- Jill Paton Walsh ()

"Starting with the 'Wizard of Oz' material, Gregory Maguire has added greater depths and different facets, creating something altogether different and unique. It's a magnificent work, a genuine tour de force."

- Lloyd Alexander ()
