I think alot of people who don't like this book expected more of an easier read since it is, after all, more of a childrens story in modern day. However, it was a deeply fascinating story that has alot of similarity to the world today, if you face it from that context. I absolutely loved Elphaba and even saw many of my own character traits in her (or in other women I know) so she's very easy to love. Her story does end abruptly but she dies abruptly....that's how life works when you die young...your story has, for all intents and purposes, stop.

One of my all time favorites. So unexpected as he twists and turns the classic childhood favorite into a brilliant, unique perspective from the so called wicked witch.

the book was hard to get immersed into. found it very hard to focus on what was happening.

Really well done by the reader. A very interesting story that gives humanity to a character much maligned by the movie.

The author paints a vivid picture of land and characters and the narrator brings them to life. I enjoyed listening.
