Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West 1522 reviews Gregory Maguire
Harper Paperbacks, 1996
Truly Bizarre But Impossible to Put Down
I suppose that if I was going to take a famous children's story and make an adult novel out of it, I'm not sure I would have chosen something based on the Wizard of Oz. Maybe "Blueberries for Sally," where it turns out that the missing father from the story had been killed in a gangland slaying ...

The Book of Lost Tales 1(The History of Middle-Earth, Vol. 1) 45 reviews J.R.R. Tolkien
Del Ray/Balantine Books, 1992
genius
+ Pretty Interesting + The Journey Back
this book is incredible, but amazon sent me a copy with a different cover than pictured here. not to sound whiny, but i really wanted the john howe artwork instead of the hideous one that i got. but still, the book rules.
thanks for screwing up amazon.

The Annotated Hobbit 26 reviews J.R.R. Tolkien
Houghton Mifflin, 2002
One of the best books about Tolkien ever
+ Good, but I'd rather just have the story + Very good supplement to a landmark book.
I've read many Books about J.R.R Tolkien and his creation, as well as the entire 12 books of the History of Middle Earth. The Annotated Hobbit is the best of them all. It is sheer example of a book that tells you a lot but don't confuse you with too much data.
Every person that read the Annotated ...
