Son of a Witch: A Novel Audiobook

" I liked this book because it gave me what I was looking for, a chance to revisit Maguire's Land of Oz. Well worth the read. "

" As with Wicked, I couldn't put this down....I kept wanting Elphie to show up... "

" Hmmm... Not the best book I've ever read. Quite violent in parts. Just okay in others. I hear Wicked is much better, so I might try it. Still not sure. "

" This was also a mistake to read. "

" The audiobook reader was great with the voices of the characters, and emphasis on the emotions of each character. "

" I found Liir to be quite boring. It was ok to get his perspective of things but it didnt really tell me much that I even wanted to know. Or maybe I just missed Elphie and the first book so much =) "

" This book would have been hard to understand if you didnt read Wicked. I really enjoy the writing style of Maguire. "

" This book was probably the worst I've ever had the displeasure of reading. GODS this book is boring. Boring boring boring boring boring. Overall, I thought it was a little too boring. "

" This book is very slow to start but once it gets going (oh say 200-300 pages in) it gets going. Like Wicked, several plot questions are left hanging but there are two more books published to answer some of those questions. "

" This was a struggle to get through but I pushed through hoping to discover the point of this book and some kind of semblence of a plot. Alas, that never happened. Worse book I have read in a LONG time and I read all of the Twilight series. "

" Not as good as Wicked, but still good. "

" I was somewhat disappointed by the ending but otherwise it was a good read "

" Not as good as Wicked, which made me cry, but still a pretty awesome exploration of the world and its psychology and politics. Worth a read, for sure. :) "

" This is the only book I've ever read that made me angry that I wasted my time reading it. I haven't been able to read anymore of his books after this, in my opinion, epic failure. "

" Even better than the first book! "

" The follow up to Wicked, is every bit as good as the first one! In this book, we find out that Elphaba had a great love of her life, & a secret love child! How interesting! This is his story, & his search for his mother. "

" Great. Really great. Well written and cerebral. "

" This book is very slow and just when it starts picking up, like things are about to happen, it ends. "

" Just as mediocre as the book before it. "

" I gave up listening to this book. I got through about an hour of listening and it wasn't grabbing my attention. Upon reading reviews on Amazon I decided it wasn't the book for me. Fortunately I checked it out of the library so I didn't waste $$ on it. "

" Same as the first one, slow, deep, but very interesting at the end. Love the final "upgrades" of Liir. "

" A difficult but imaginative read. I'm still a bit confused about parts of it. "

" Great sequel to Wicked, I really enjoyed the story. I'm also glad I had A Lion Among Men on hand to read next. I am hoping for some closure to the Wicked trilogy. "

" The story of Elphaba's son. "

" I loved it. Such a beautiful ending. "

" "Son of a Witch" is a wickedly delightful book and a sequel most deserving of a sequel. I especially loved the ending and actually tittered when I read it. Maguire simply cannot stop here. "

" A little leaven in the stack of Serious Books. "

" i could not get through this novel. "

" I can't decide if I like these stories based on the Wizard of Oz or not. Wicked was interesting, graphic, but overall, mostly depressing. This subsequent book did not really change any of those features, so still depressing and detailed in weird things. "

" Really liked this book! Much better than the Lion one. Love the atmosphere and placement of the story in Oz. The characters are also great. The story ends at a possible new beginning. Maybe another book will continue the story - I hope. "

" I read this first, and enjoyed it more than Wicked. "

" This was a struggle to get through but I pushed through hoping to discover the point of this book and some kind of semblence of a plot. Alas, that never happened. Worse book I have read in a LONG time and I read all of the Twilight series. "

" Not as good as Wicked, but still worth the read. "

" This book left way too many loose endings. Other than that, a pretty good read. "

" I kept asking myself as I ploughed through this book -- why am I still reading this? "

" The continuation of the story was almost better than the first. "
