Wicked?
Due to a really slow temp job with no computer access, I got some reading done last week. So I was wondering if anyone else read “Wicked”. I found it a miserable thing to slog through, but I stubbornly did. I had hoped it would plug some of the holes left by the musical, but the stories really bear little resemblance to each other. I found the musical sweet if flawed, but the book really didn’t have the same feel. The book failed to tell a very coherent story, skipping ahead in time without finishing any particular timeline. The author was very interested in politics and religion without ever thoroughly examining either. I found myself wondering why it was a Times best seller. I felt embarrassed every time a coworker noticed what I was reading and asked if I liked it. No, I’d admit, but I’m stubborn. I was just wondering if I was the only one.
