Title: if you're looking for a smart read...
Review: This book is for you. I was introduced to the soundtrack to the musical first and after listening to it once, i ran out and bought the book. Both had been highly recommended to me. I'm almost finished with the book now and i just can't put it down! I feel so terrible for Elphaba. Everything she tries to fix, turns sour. All she wants is to be loved and to make a difference in the world, and everything seems to backfire on her. This book really makes you think about what is good and what is evil. About ambition and need and ego. McGuire takes an old tale and puts a fresh spin on it. Oz isnt so magical after all, it has the same sociopolitical and emotional problems we all face. If you're interested in a smart read, this is the book for you!
