Title: Not a good bedtime story...
Review: I bought the book Wicked on CD and could not get very far with it. I tried listening to it at night at the same time as I would ordinarily read, before bedtime. At one point, there was a description given that just thoroughly turned me off having to do with the time clock and an incestuous sexual imagining/accusation used to incite people to violence against a family. This was not an image or idea I wanted in my mind while drifting off to sleep. I saw the play awhile back and enjoyed it,and I do not recall imagery as off-putting in it as what was in the book. I think stories are often made more palatable when put into a musical format. I do think that creating an alternate story for The Wizard of Oz was a fantastic idea, and the story that the author did create in Wicked is a good one. However, I would not recommend the audiobook since I wasn't able to get to what I know is good about the story.
