Title: Phenomenal!
Review: I have no idea what was going through people's minds when they wrote the reviews that used only one or two stars. Even three or four are depriving this book of its true status. Honestly? This is the best book that I've ever read. Sure, it may not be as sweet as honey, like you all might've hoped! But really, it had an edge that makes for a great book. All it takes to read it is a little open-mindedness. Obviously it's not going to be a good book if you try and compare it to Frank L. Baum's version - but I have news for you. It's not the same book, so live with it. 'Wicked' shows elements of the Wicked Witch that we'd never heard before. Elphaba still has her flaws, of course, but she also now has a personality, one that Baum failed to show. I think that this has been a major accomplisment of literature, and apparently the media agrees, if you were to look at the latest show on Broadway.
