Wicked???

[I_luv_Jace]

lol yeah i know it takes me weeks to finish 1 book in the summer but during the school year I have a new one every week and am constantly finishing books way to fast how do you like Betwixt i started it and didn't like it.

THANKS EVERYONE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!

[Kyleigh]

I like it, but I think the plot too way too long to develope and I still don't know what a ringer does and why a ringer is different thana guide and bleck.  I think it's interesting that the fay are not actual physical entities.  That's kinda cool.  Idk.  Morgan drives me nuts and I kinda want to punch Ondine cuz she's being a baby.  The only one I really like is Nix and Moth.

[I_luv_Jace]

I started it but it didn't hold my attention enough to finish it. It didn't move fast enough for me either and if a book doesn't hold my attention after the first 5 chapters then I'm done. The only one I liked was Nix, too and it was to wierd for me because Bettina is my moms name and Nicholas is my brothers middle name!!!

[Kyleigh]

Ya  I totally getting the holding attention thing.  I went into it knowing they were fay so I was waiting for it to be revealed and once it happened it just was kinda meh.  I knew that was going to happen.  I still haven't finished it yet.  *le sigh*

[random97]

o i know! i saw the musical and luv'd it!!!

that book is so onmy list!

[AmberKetchum]

I think its improtant to realise that there are two books called Wicked. One of which is the story about Galinda the Good Witch and Elphaba the Wicked witch by Gregory MgGuire. This Wicked has some sexual scenes in it and the overall story line is a little more mature than the normal teen reads. The other Wicked by  Nancy holder & Debbie Viguie is about three cousins who are brought together by tragedy and dive into the world of magic. 

[Kyleigh]

Ya we know.  Lol.  We just happen to be talking about both.  Lol. 

The musical is AWESOME.  Seriously though it's super fantastic.  I got to see it on Broadway and it was seriously one of my best moments in NY.  Have you listened to the soundtrack for Wicked?  You'll fall in love.  Lol.  

The book is nothing like the musical though.   The book is way darker and of course more adult.  Still good though.  ^.^

[Vampires-and-S…]

I LOVE both Wickeds! They were all awesome!

[Facepalm]

Ugh... Wicked by Gregory Mcguire (sp?) was awful. Seriously- it's a waste of time. The musical was approximately 10 million times better.

I looooved the musical. Hated the book.

[Vampires-and-S…]

Loved the book! Never seen the musical...

[Love2read34]

My recommendation is not to read it. If you want to know the plot line, go see the play, it's a lot better and less inappropriate then the book. The book is also confusing and is far from the movie.

[Kyleigh]

Pshaw.  Please I've read way more graphic things than Wicked.  (Not intentionally!  I'm not a perv)  The book is really dark and there's a whole lot more depth to the story.  It isn't all fluffy and the perfect ending like the musical.   The book is harsh and I find it refreshing.   Plus there's a ton of political and governmental inuendo's and such that are really fun to analyze.  Well...... maybe that's just me.  Lol. 

[Vampires-and-S…]

Dude, I totally agree. Plus, isn't it suppose to be adult fiction anyway?

[Kyleigh]

Ya it's adult.  Have you read Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by him?  It is SO GOOD.  That is by far my favorite book by Maguire.  It could have been teen fiction.  There wasn't anything inappropriate in it at all.  Such a good story. 

[Vampires-and-S…]

No, unfortunatly. I've been dying to read the rest of his books. They're bound to be amazing!

[ashley_42]

I'm reading the first one now. and yes its really gruesome. i like cringe the stuff that happened so far. but its pretty good.

[Parisgirl14]

I saw the musical in New York and loved it. I haven't read the book yet but I plan to.

[Kyleigh]

Son of a Witch, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister are both good.  I haven't got a chance to read the third one of the Wicked books yet though.  Do NOT read Lost.  That was the worst book I've ever read.  It was just so freakin weird.  I have never been more confused reading a book than that one right there.  I was severely disappointed with Maguire.  Just don't read that one.  Mirror Mirror looks good though, so I haven't given up on his other books completely.  Lol. 

[Vampires-and-S…]

Yeah, I've been dying to read all of those. Even though you didn't like Lost, I'm probably still gonna try and read it (Go used and out of print!) because I can never rely (no offence) on other people's opinions on books because I always think that they could be wrong and I would lose out on a good book.
