[REVIEW] Wicked – Gregory Maguire
All about Politics, Witches and Wizards. I want to say I am reviewing this book after not reading in ages!

[REVIEW] The Colour of Magic – Terry Pratchett
The basic idea of this book was good but I found it hard to get my head into it. It is aimed at the fantasy and science fiction genre. This is a brilliant book that starts off the Disc-world series by Terry Pratchett. It is the book you are meant to start off reading and divulge into his world; of some normal, some extraordinary characters, that are in various books, throughout the series. The book shows you the events that take place around a dopey wizard called Rincewind and his merry bunch of people he meets along the way. The person, if you want to call it/him/her that, who comes…
