Oliver Douglas Why Oliver loves this book

Wicked needs no introduction but if you think the book is the same as the musical, think again! The musical takes the bare bones and that's it. Wicked, the book, is closer to something like Game of Thrones. It's high fantasy with interesting characters and an Oz where Elphaba is less magical than is believed. It's a tale about how easy it is to do good and yet be seen as evil due to the manipulations of true evil. It doesn't shy away from real issues that are still prevalent in the real world today.

What is this book about?

An astonishingly rich re-creation of the land of Oz, this book retells the story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, who wasn't so wicked after all. Taking readers past the yellow brick road and into a phantasmagoric world rich with imagination and allegory, Gregory Maguire just might change the reputation of one of the most sinister characters in literature.

It's a classic murder mystery. While most murder mysteries focus on the whodunnit, Laura also focuses on the lead detective and him slowly falling for the victim as he learns more about the type of person she was. With this, it changes him as a person too and it has a fabulous cast of characters you want to love and hate.

What is this book about?

In the doorway of an elegant New York apartment, blood seeps over silk negligee, over polished wood floors and plush carpet: a beautiful young woman lies dead, her face disfigured by a single gun shot.

But who was Laura? What power did she hold over the very different men in her life? How does her portrait bewitch even Mark McPherson, the hard-bitten detective assigned to find her murderer?

One stormy night, Mark's investigation takes an unexpected turn...
