Title: good, but not great
Review: I really, really, really, wanted to read this book for some time. The premise is fascinating and the possibility is tantalizing. I finished and enjoyed the book, but it wasn't what I had anticipated. Elphaba definitely got a bum rap as the wicked witch. I enjoyed her college days and felt like just when things would be getting good, the story coursed off in another direction and I was kind of left wanting more. I love the fact that she had a lover and a child and there was so much more that could have been developed, but alas, it wasn't.The political manipulation of it all (Oz, the wizard, the witches, etc) could very well be from the pages of US today....I recommend it, but it still didn't meet my expectations.
