It confused the hell out of me. I never got past chapter 2. I found it a bit too wordy for my liking and that just through me off.
It's supposed to be a good book which is why I bought it and which is why I'm assuming you bought it. Try it, maybe you'll have better luck. |

I hated the book. I got halfway thru it and gave up. I'm going to see the musical though in Sept, hopefully I'll like that.

I''m interested, too. I bought it at a used book store for a quarter, but haven't started it yet.

Damn
 I don't know if I want to read it now, maybe I should lose it again.

It was fucking annoying. And pretentious. I wanted to kick Elpheba in the throat.

Guess I'm in the minority but I absolutely loved it. I now wish Elphaba existed. I'm reading it for the 3rd time :]

I love Wicked!!!!!! Both the musical and the book are amazing. I named my cat Elphaba after it actually.

I really couldn't get into it at all. I'm pretty sure I read the first chapter three or four times and never got any further.

I loved the book and the musical is amazing! Some of us I guess are in the minority although I did like the authors other books Mirror Mirror and Confessions
of an Ugly Stepsister. The only one I couldn't get past was the sequel to Wicked which was Son of The Witch.

The musical and the book are completely different
I didn't really like the book but I love the musical.

My mom liked the book
I bought her the two other ones too. I couldn't get past a few chapters, I get confused easily.
The musical is way different than the book and soooooo good. |
