Book #41 -- Gregory Maguire, Wicked, 406 pages.
This was a very good novel (albeit very different from the musical, and much darker). I loved Elphaba, and hated knowing what was going to happen to her. Although there were a lot of loose ends and questions never answered but I heard he wrote a sequel, so I guess I'll just have to read that. And I'm looking forward to reading his revisionist fairy tales.
