Mr. Wicked

Here's a nice long article about our friend and hero Gregory Maguire -- I can't believe I still haven't managed to see that damned musical!

I'm not sure how I feel about his insisting that "Wicked" is an adult book, but I still love him to death.

I read Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister years ago and didn't like it too much. All I remember is it was depressing and Dutch.

Have you read Wicked? Should I?

I read Wicked when I was in my senior year of college (before my mind was filled with children's lit snobbery) and loved it. Absolutely loved it.

I was bored by one of his other books... I don't even remember which one; it might have been Confessions. So I would still bet you would like Wicked.
