really liked it

Part social allegory, part political warning (think "1984"), part fun fantasy book, Wicked really does have it all. You've got political conspiracies, social upheavals, sabotage, murder, love, sex, and a little sorcery & magic thrown into the mix. Althought it took me a really long time to get through this book, I really enjoyed it. Maguire has a unique style, and the reader really has to focus on every word to appreciate the story....I am sure that some of the symbolism and nuances were lost on me, but I LOVED how he flipped everything about Oz on it's head, and things were never what they seemed!
