Any other fans of Wicked here? I've read all three of them, and you'd be hard pressed to find a better fantasy book anywhere.

For those of you who don't know, it's a revisionist tale of Wizard of Oz, told from the point of the wicked witch and it basically explores how she became the way she did. It's great and very nostalgic.

Yeah, I love the way Maguire manages to take children's tales and turn them into something that is profound, mature and intensely entertaining at the same time. I tried to read Frank L. Baum's original after finishing "Wicked", and was severely disappointed by it. Maguire's Oz is MUCH more vibrant and exciting than the original creation.
