Helpful Score: 2

I read this in 2001 after finding it in a book shop in Los Angeles. This was a year or so before the musical debuted. I was a little disappointed. It's dense, more a political drama than a whimsical adventure. When I was in New York the year Wicked debuted on Broadway I was almost reluctant to see the play. If you loved the play, you will be disappointed by the book. It's good, very smartly written, but dense and plodding and really tough to get through. Luckily I read this before I saw the play.
