Wicked Witch of the West (WWW??!?)

i had the chance to read this book just last week and i found it pretty interesting. i think that the book is all about changing what people's perspective is on the values of what we know as GOOD and EVIL.

I like the way the author portrayed the Witch of the West as a misunderstood green girl who never wanted to be a witch in the first place!

Here's a snippet i pulled out from Wikipedia:

The novel is a political, social, and ethical commentary on what good and evil really are. The story centers around Elphaba, the misunderstood green-skinned girl who grows up to become the infamous Wicked Witch of the West. Elphaba acquired her green skin through one of her mother's affairs (a man of unknown ethnicity and a green liquid in a green bottle that he feeds to the pregnant Melena) and was also born with incredibly sharp teeth. It tells of her time at Shiz University, as well as her journey to the Emerald City and The Vinkus, among other places in Oz. The book explains Elphaba's motives and examines her true personality. Many familiar characters from Oz are featured in Wicked, including the Wizard, Glinda (here originally called "Galinda" but later adopting the name Glinda out of respect for Dr. Dillamond who often mispronounced her name), the Wicked Witch of the East (here called Nessarose), and Dorothy. Maguire also introduces several new characters including Fiyero, Madame Morrible, and Doctor Dillamond.

BUT IF YOU WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT THE BOOK JUST GO TO THE BLOODY LIBRARY AND READ THE BOOK COZ I DON'T WANNA SPOIL THE WHOLE THING BY TELLING YOU ABOUT IT.
