Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West is by Gregory Maguire. When we read The Wizard of Oz we only heard one side of the story, Dorothy's side. Now let's hear from the other side. This is the story of one of the most hated villains in all of classic literature: the Wicked Witch of the West. Where did she come from? Is she really wicked? What made her that way? This is a fantastic story on the true nature of evil. It is not L. Frank Baum's tale. This book is for adults. It contains profanity, sexual references, and mature thematic content. In some ways it's even a political thriller. A wonderfully gripping fantasy book for those readers old enough to grasp its complexity.
Ratings: Adult - 10 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content) - S (sexual references).
