Sinossi
Elfaba, la Perfida Strega dell'Ovest "Per definizione, il male si nasconde ." Glinda "Sono ricca sfondata, l'avresti mai detto? Chi immaginava che la beneficenza fosse così redditizia?" Principessa Elefantessa Nastoya "Quando ci troviamo di fronte a un bivio, quando l'aria puzza di tragedia, a rimetterci sono coloro che non indossano una maschera." Il Mago di Oz "Il punto, mia verde fanciulla, è che non tocca a una giovane, né a una studentessa, né a una cittadina decidere ciò che è giusto e ingiusto. È compito dei capi." Dottor Dillamond "Cosa pensate che intendesse Madame Morribile concludendo il secondo Quell con l'epigramma 'Animali, abbassate la cresta'!" Madame Morribile "Con il passare del tempo e una cornice abbastanza ampia, tutto ciò che possiamo dire o fare finisce per rivelarsi ironico." Fiyero, principe degli Arjiki di Kiamo Ko "Cosa credi di sapere della perfidia?"

From the first page, I couldn't put the book down. I loved it! And as my love for the book Wicked and the Wicked Witch of the West grew, my hatred for George Lucas grew in direct proportion. How could he have gotten it so wrong? I never pretended to like the new trilogy. It could have been a new sto Leggi tutto
As far as fairy tales are concerned, adults recall them to be simple moral stories of how things go wrong if you want the wrong things. As fond of them as adults may be, the stories aren't often dissected, interpreted, or believed in for much farther than that. The brilliance behind Maguire's books, Leggi tutto
I’ve been trying to get through this book since last summer, and THANK GOD ON HIGH I finally finished it last night. Given that Wicked was popular with both critics and lay people, AND the fact that there’s a wildly successful stage play associated with it, I figured this book couldn’t possibly disa Leggi tutto
I love my physical edition of this novel...while the reading experience wasn't as good as always thought that it would be. MANY SHADES OF GREEN A thing that I got amazed when I started to "label" this book, in the process of my review, in my virtual shelves of Goodreads was how many different
I had no idea what to expect from this one, but a few chapters in, I realised that this was the backstory prior to Dorothy's visit in the Wizard of OZ!!! More essentially it is the backstory of the 'Wicked Witch of the West', as a mature audience re-imagining of Oz and its well known and loved chara Leggi tutto
