Wicked by Gregory McGuire

Wicked by Gregory McGuire introduces you to Elphabala also known as the Wicked Witch of the West....who is she and how did she become so wicked?!

So we read this book for our ebook club in Facebook. I didn't know what to expect of the book...but of any expectations, it met none of them. The book was heavy on the political and sexual side. Though the story was good - there were plenty of sections that kept you scratching your head...and some questions just remained unanswered at the end. Was I thrilled by the book? Definitely not. Was it finishable? Yes.

McGuire has some follow up books to Wicked such as "Son of Witch" that help answer some questions you may have had in Wicked...though I probably won't be reading any of them. If you want to see the musical, I think it would be helpful to read the book first.
