I thought this was a great book. I always thought the the "Wicked" witch of the west was this horrible person by the way the movie portrayed her. The book shows that she wasn't really wicked at all. She was just misunderstood. People assumed she was wicked as soon as they met her just because of her green skin. If I had to grow up the way she did I would have probably turned out the same. It's crazy that her mother used to always hope that she would drown. What kind of mother does that?? Elphaba was a great character in this book. Dorothy seemed like a little goodie too shoes. It's too bad that Dorothy wouldn't have melted from Elphaba throwing water on her. :) Great read!!
