The novel Wicked (Maguire) is 406 pages long, but in the copy that I have possession of has reader's group guide featuring fourteen question that I intend on answering after I read the novel. Also included in this book is an excerpt of the second novel in the series Son of a Witch ( Maguire.)
As for the layout of my blog; I think I am going to do in in this way. Before I begin reading a chapter, I am gong to make an educated guess based on the previous chapter as well as how the character is progressing throughout the novel. After I finish the chapter I am going to create a blog post summarizing the chapter and including any information I think that a reader would want to know. This includes references to historical facts and any other relevant information. I am also going to include a section of words that I do not understand. They will be defined, and from what I can tell you right now, there are going to be many of these.
Here is how I am going to divide the chapters:
1. Prologue pg. 1-4
Munchkinland
2. The Root of Evil pg. 6-10
3. The Clock of the Time Dragon pg. 11-14
4. The Birth of a Witch pg. 15-21
