As you could probably tell, this blog will be reviewing the novel Wicked by; Gregory Maguire. This is a class assignment and Wicked will be the only book I will be reviewing.
I am looking forward to reading this novel. I have not seen the musical adaptation, but (and i am guessing that you have too) seen the movie The Wizard of Oz. I know that the novel is centred around the time of the movie, and the years after Dorothy left. where the reader learns about the relationship between the wicked witch of the west and the other witches movie.
If you are a fan of musicals (such as myself) you have most likely have seen Glee's adaptation of the song "Defying Gravity" which is one of the songs in the musical based off this novel. Now, I am not going to lie, this song inspired me when the characters sang it on the show, and I have the song on my iPod (one of my most played songs.) I realize that that has nothing to do with reviewing the novel but I think it should count. :)
I am looking forward to reading this novel, and I hope that one day I will be able to see the musical; live.
