Wicked: the bestselling book that inspired the movie Paperback – 1 Oct. 2024

Good book and worth the money!! This book is based off the musical not the movie by the way.

My granddaughter loved the book big hit in school.

Amazing book. I love the film and musical! Definitely recommend

This took multiple attempts to get into, both reading and listening to the audio book.I actually think this broke me, it is not my usual genre of book and once I’d finished it I found it hard to get into another book. Once I did get into the book it gripped me but it did take a while.

Amazing book can’t wait for Part 2 of the film

Obviously I picked this up because of the current hype about the Wicked film (which by the way is incredible) and expected a light hearted retelling from the Wicked Witch’s point of view. Instead I got a beautifully profound novel about good and evil.The way Maguire has written these well loved characters is seriously superb; we are never in any doubt of their motivations, each has a clear moral standard of their own which is thoughtfully explored throughout the book.The plot is equally charming and disturbing, the political landscape is well developed, and the tension oozes off every page.I loved it and would recommend it to anyone be they a Wicked fan or not.Dazzling and surprising, I plan to continue the series and immerse myself in Gregory Maguire’s beautiful writing once again.PS. It is NOT a children’s book

Fab but long!!!

This is the second time I've read this. The first time was years ago, before I'd even seen the musical.II still enjoyed it second time around, although it's the same premise, the story itself differs from the musical and the newly released movie (which follows the musical).The language takes some getting used to, but it's easy enough to follow. Would definitely recommend.
