Wickedly funny!

Love the title----and the book! This is the continuing story of WICKED which, unless you've been living under a rock, you know about. I didn't really feel that it dragged at all. I read it from cover to cover in one evening. I think the fact that it deals more with Liir's character growing and developing more than actual "action" probably puts some people off. I get very caught up in this version of Oz, however, so I like to read these things. I thought it did a great job following in the footsteps of Wicked. Must also recommend the books: KATZENJAMMER by Jackson McCrae, and the novel CONFESSIONS OF AN UGLY STEPSISTER.

This book is very dark and very entertaining. I would definately reccomend it to anyone who read the wicked and loved the backstory and the whole political underbelly part of it. If you've just seen the musical, and never read novel i would reccomend not reading this one until you have, or else you'll have absolutely no idea whats going or who any of the characters are. The only familiar characters represented from the show are Glinda & Dorothy's crew (and just in small cameos). But Overall I thought it was a great sequal and as usual Gregory Mcguire went into great detail about the world of oz, constantly giving new information about the places and peoples involved in the story.
