OMG the 1st chapter dragged on for too long. I found it engaging at times, but overall I felt I had to force myself to finish because I dislike starting a book and not finishing it. I read it because of all the rave reviews for the play, which I haven't seen, and ended up stumped over how they could turn this book into a musical!
Elphaba was an interesting yet likable character. It truly gives the life story of Elphaba from when she was born through to the end. Dorothy and her sidekicks are mentioned on occasion which was neat to remember the movie and see how The Wicked Witch tied in and understanding where she was coming from. Like another reviewer mentioned, there are many political and religious undertones if you don't mind that sort of stuff. Please note that the chapters were often too long.
