What Members Thought
Tedious, meandering, and pointless, the only redeeming part of this story is that some visionary improved and adapted it for Broadway.
Quite enjoyable!
I originally read this 25 or 30 years ago and forgot a lot of it. I, like many, loved the musical adaptation movie Wicked. I always cry during Defying Gravity. It, to me, is about being who you are and not letting anyone hold you back, "nobody in all of Oz, no wizard that there is or was, is ever gonna bring me down." I love Elphaba. So then I decided to go back and read the book and it is beautiful. I loved it. I think it is truly a literary masterpiece and I'm so glad that I read it again.

The Wizard of Oz story from the viewpoint of the witch. Loved it. Thanks Woodson for the recommendation.
