Heralded as an instant classic of fantasy literature, Maguire has written a wonderfully imaginative retelling of The Wizard of Oz told from the Wicked Witch's point of view. More than just a fairy tale for adults, Wicked is a meditation on the nature of good and evil.

Not as creative as original Oz books
Revisado: 02-18-25
L. Frank Baum was astonishingly creative.
In Wicked, Maguire just relies on sensational, salacious details that bog down the story.
The musical was an abridgment of this story so it was more fun.
I’m not even sure I can finish the story and will probably return it and get my credit back.
There are SO many more captivating characters and plots in Baum’s stories.
I don’t understand why Wicked is such a popular work, but that’s what keeps writers writing!
Not everyone likes the same thing.

Great narration!
Revisado: 01-30-22
I must speak up for the amazing narrator!
She is outstanding and doesn’t deserve the criticism based on unfair comparison to the previous, dearly missed, amazing narrator.
These books are charming as always. More please and bring the Lab puppies into the story! I breed Labs and that’s the only thing missing from the series.

Please release earlier “Cat Who” books!
Revisado: 03-14-20
I love the earlier Cat Who books.
There are many titles from the beginning of this series unavailable on Audible.
They are read by George Guidall and provide the backstory to Qwilleran, Koko & Yum Yum. I used to get them on cassette tapes from my bookmobile.
Please, please Audible, provide them to a very long time fam of this series.
They are vintage classics!

It all started with a coot's nest. Dorothy and Dick meet Tom Dodgeon, Port and Starboard, and three pirate salvagers all members of the Coot Club Bird Protection Society. When one of the coot's nests is disturbed by a shipful of Hullabaloos-rude holiday boaters - trouble begins. Frantic chases, calamitous boat collisions, and near drownings fill the pages of this exciting fifth addition to Ransome's classic children's series.

In the eerie wasteland of Dartmoor, Sherlock Holmes summons his devoted wife and partner, Mary Russell, from her studies at Oxford to aid the investigation of a death and some disturbing phenomena of a decidedly supernatural origin. Through the mists of the moor there have been sightings of a spectral coach made of bones carrying a woman long-ago accused of murdering her husband - and of a hound with a single glowing eye.

The best series

I like Sherlock Holmes better via King than Conan- Doyle!
Mary Russell is a wonderful strong female protagonist. The best series in a long time!

Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.

A discovery of mediocrity
Revisado: 01-05-13
What would have made A Discovery of Witches better?
A heroine who is as smart as the author tells us she is.
What could Deborah Harkness have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
The heroine seems so unable to feed or care for herself and needs rescuing from her supernatural boyfriend.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Jennifer Ikeda?
Her voice was nice.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Dissapointment since the reviews raved about this one.
