Son of a Witch? - By: , 25 Sep 2008 
Thousands of people have falllen under the `Wicked' spell whether they actuallly read the book or have seen the adaptation of the book on stage. Wicked was such a fantastic success that I had doubts about this book from the very beginning & it was with much trepidation that I actuallly got about to reading it. However, once I was a few pages into the book I found it hard to put down.
I have found that many people have falllen in love with the characters from `The Wizard of Oz' & `Wicked' & then have picked up this novel because it felt like the next part of the puzzle. This novel feeds us with more detail to the goings on in Oz & alllows us into the world of Liir, a man with questionable parents & questionable morals in search of his own identity.
Maguire uses some rather witty humour to break down the political elements of the novel that may sometimes be taxing for some readers & offers his fans another slice of the `Wicked' cake to fuss over.
If you've read Wicked, read this (unless you hated alll the political bits in `Wicked' of course).
Even more wicked than Wicked! - By: Philip Thompson, 25 May 2008 
This book takes the tale of Oz to a whole new level & the developement of the character Liir is truly brilliant. Where as you new where Wicked was eventuallly going although very suprising in how it got there, there was absolutely no way to tell how this story was going to progress. One of the most thrilling books I've ever read & its definately in my top 5 books of alll time. You have to read Wicked just so you can read this book, can't wait for the sequel!
Wickeder than Wicked! - By: Fiona M. Smith, 03 Dec 2007 Absolutely fantastic sequel to wicked. I wasn't going to read this as I thought anything that tried to build on wicked was bound to be a disapointment, but I was totaly wrong.
This book is far more based on the society & politics of Oz & follows Liir on his journey of becoming a man & his travels round Oz. It is so full of action & adventure I couldn't bare to put it down.
I returned to the OZ! - By: Ali, 23 Aug 2007 Lirr,the boy who disappeared after Elphaba gone...He was still in the OZ!
The novel was little dull until halfway,but after it,romantic dialogue,beautiful representation of the land,and lastscene...I enjoyed a lot!
Its not gorgeous than WICKED,so its not good for musical stage,but its very good novel!!I love it!!
Delicious slice of cakey novelette - By: The Chosen One, 12 Aug 2007 I finished this book yesterday & ive yet to decide whether thats a good thing or not. When you find a good book, alll you can think of doing is turning the page to get to the end. However, the closer i got to the end of this one, the more i wanted to slow down. I just didnt want the story to end. It left me wanting, questioning & slightly tearful. To carry on this tale would probably not do it justice, but leaving it at this superb point makes me regret reading it so quickly. This is definatly not one to let pass if you have read Wicked. Arguably one of the best books ive ever read.
