I got my sister to buy this for me for xmas a few years ago when i became obsessed with th musical Wicked, but I didnt get around to reading it till now. Haha - the musical is only VERY loosely based on this book.
I enjoyed the book and the world is very interesting, Never read the Wizard of Oz so cant compare books. The things I found most frustrating was there were many things that were never made clear, and I like Elphaba so I wanted things to be okay at least for her in the end. :(

Wicked is an interesting book. I have known many people who have read it. I have never heard anyone with a middle of the road opinion. You either love it, or you hate it. Wicked stirs emotions.
I really liked this book. I thought it was cleverly written and an interesting look at the other side.
If it is true everything has two sides than read Wicked and get a totally different take on the Wicked Witch of the West.
