Wicked
I am so glad I saw the musical before I read this book. I don't think I would have gone to see it if I had read the book first.
There wasn't one thing I really liked about this book. I think it boils down to it being a story about a woman that was written by a man. I think a female author could have given Elphaba's story some real feeling and emotion.
I know a lot of people loved this book, but it was a chore to finish.

I'm with you. I didn't even finish the book, I just couldn't get into it. But I LOVED the show. Go figurePosted 10-09-2007 at 01:38 PM by dsnylndmom

I've had a copy of the novel since 1998 and have tried to read it three times over the years. Just can't get into it. People tell me that it takes a bit for it to get going but once it does, it's wonderful.
I'm also one of those people that thought the musical was "meh." I'm glad it's popular but I can take it or leave it.Posted 08-31-2008 at 09:32 PM by RonNYC
