I recently reread Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, by Gregory Maguire, because I wanted to see if it was appropriate for my soon to be 11 year old daughter. She has recently become a fan of the Wicked musical score, and really wants to see the show when it comes to town next year. While the musical is suitable for audiences of all ages, I knew about 4 pages into my reread that the book is NOT appropriate for my 10 year old. I'll let her read it when is about 18. However, that did not stop me from enjoying this story of an "emerald in the rough" a second time.
This is the story and back story of The Wizard of Oz as told from the perspective of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. If you think about it, until now, we have only been told Dorothy's, Glinda's, and the Wizard's side of the tale.

The Dragon Reborn (The Wheel of Time, Book 3), is written by Robert Jordan, was released on 2004-11-04, is made by Macmillan Audio, Usually ships in 24 hours. The list price is around US$59.95. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $37.77.
This book will be thoroughly enjoyed by any fan of fantasy writing. However, I would strongly recommend that readers should start from the beginning with book 1 "The Eye of the World". This book is a fast-paced fun read that will keep you immersed in a vivid and detailed world of fantasy. Robert Jordan writes so well as to make you feel that you are part of the story. Once you pick up the book you will not want to put it down. This book builds on the story of three boyhood friends who find themselves at the center of the struggle to save the world from the Dark one. Rand, Matt, and Perrin each have a significant portion of the book. After reading this, you will just want to get the next book as soon as you can.
