Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Beth

This book is amazing!!!! It is definately for mature readers only, though.  Gregory Maguire creates a vivid new version of Oz, that is similar to and different from the Oz we all grew up with.  Maguire creates a very complex world where characters are so realistically drawn that you can almost forget that they are green or talking animals.  The plot is complex and vivid, one that is impossible to escape from once you have begun.  This is an unbelieveably amazing book, and should be read by all who are old enough to deal with the mature content.
