I finished the book Wicked yesterday. I have been listening to it on cd (17 discs). The only feedback I had heard previous to reading the book was: 'its so dark.' I am here to say, "Gee wiz, the title of the book is Wicked. Get a grip." Many people get dissuaded from reading a book if they hear a comment like that. I loved the book. It had me questioning good and evil, the purpose of religion, expressions of love, and all other really prominent components of life. Maybe I am more curious than average, but when I hear something is controversial I want to check it out for myself to form an opinion. The writing style is beautiful and imaginative. I highly recommend reading this book esp. if you have seen the musical or are interested in doing so.
By the way, I saw the musical previous to reading the book in Chicago last September. Melissa and I both won a pair of 4th row tickets for $25.00. The book is really detailed and pretty different from the musical, but I loved both.
