I was messing around Amazon and ran across his name and his books...they seem really fun!

Wicked
Son of Witch
Mirror Mirror

has anyone read any of these?
i'm just seeing if there's any input before i head out and get one of these to read...

while i was on vacation i read wicked. and i didnt like it much. the most exciting part was the college years. if you like politics i guess you'll like it. but that's just not my thing.

i want to read son of a witch, purely because the name is awesome. and i heard it was more interesting. but still very political.

I have read Wicked and Mirror Mirror. I liked them both very much. They are pretty twisted though. (I kinda like it) I really really like fairy tales and things of that nature, so that might have a lot to do with my liking them. It's like hidden insight you've never heard before. It's great.

I READ WICKED AND SON OF A WITCH THEY ARE VERY GOOD BUT VERY DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER...I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE PLAY WHEN IT COMES TO LOS ANGELES NEXT YEAR...NOT VERY BIG FAN OF THE SOUNDTRACK THOUGH BUT JUST TO SEE THE BOOK COME TO LIFE IT WILL BE GREAT.... A BOOK I WANT TO READ IS THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA I SAW THE MOVIE WHICH I LOVED BUT I WOULD LIKE TO READ THE BOOK

I fell in love with the musical Wicked and then read the book

The musical and the book are totally different, so I won't compare them; it would be like comparing... I dunno, like comparing Brendon and Ryan, I guess xD

The book is very good, and the end left me in that dumbstruck state I get in when I finish a good book

It's very insightful into human nature

I read Wicked, Son of a Witch (LOVE the title), and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. I liked them, though Wicked and Son of a Witch are political. I like how he tries to portray the characters from another angle, it gives them another facet and makes them seem much more tangible.

I've read Wicked, Mirror Mirror, and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. I agree, they're really different, not for everybody... but definitely for me! I can't wait to read Son of a Witch, and I hope I get to see the play version of Wicked one day.

yossarian lives: LOVE the name. Oh Catch-22...

Thanks, by far my favorite book. You're awesome for knowing the reference. If only my friends read books... :P

Lol, thanks.

I know what you mean. With some of my friends just the word 'book' is enough to make them stare at me like I just grew an extra head.

ok so i was working at a book store and this customer walks up to return wicked so doing my job i asked why is she returning such a good book..get this...she tells me "its because theres profanity and sex in it" so i stare at her cuz i couldnt believe this to be an excuse...she was between 17-22 yrs old...so her mom looks at me and says that its against their religion to read such material that they didnt know this book would contain this type of stuff....so for a minute i was there still wondering what??? and then i was like ok...so do u want to exchange it for a curious george coloring book?? lol...thats weird.... wow good thing she didnt read too far into it especially when they q's the existence of god

I read Wicked last summer, and found it to be quite depressing...I saw the musical last weekend...they are COMPLETELY different. I didn't like the book very much, but the show was very enjoyable. I haven't read any other Gregory Maguire books though

Ooh ooh! I love Gregory Maguire! I read Wicked last year and finished Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister over the summer. I just started reading Mirror Mirror, and my friend has Son Of A Witch (the sequel to Wicked, I guess), which I'm going to borrow as soon as she's done with that.

Ahh, I wish I could see Wicked the musical.

Gregory Maguire takes well-known stories and twists them...the perspectives are changed and the whole plot and meaning are different, yet still contains elements of the original stories that make you go "Ohhh!"

Wicked - Before Dorothy came to Oz, and it is about the life of the wicked witches

Confessions Of an Ugly Stepsister - Cinderella, told from one of the Ugly Stepsister's point of view

Mirror Mirror - Snow White

Son Of A Witch - I haven't actually read this yet, but it's the sequel to Wicked and is about the wicked witch's son.

Most of his books are really good. i went to a signing once. He seems really intresting. Wicked is my favorite. Son of Witch isnt that great.

i just finished son of a witch. i thought it was much better than wicked, although i found more quotes that i liked in wicked. it picked up on liir's story, which is good because i was frustrated that wicked wasnt going there. and it was less political.

is there a third one? the story is pretty unfinished. the end made me cry.

there's one thing i still dont understand: how did candle get pregnant?
