Title: Bad Book
Review: I bought this book because of the musical and because it was about OZ before Dorothy arrived. It is a terrible book. Very hard to hold my attention. Chapters go on and on for no reason other than to have Mr McGuire show off his vocabulary and ability to stretch ideas on and on.One section is a long account of Elphaba and Fiyero's illicet love affair. He is,after all,married with three children.Elphaba (wicked witch of the west) has no morals. She is a completely unsympathetic central character. Most of the characters are unlikable. There are weird sexual encounters such as a naked man tied under a tiger in a compromising position for the entertainment of onlookers.One of the most disterbing Another aspects of the book is the mocking of religion. Another is that the Wizard of Oz is a really horribly person.If you enjoy perverted stories and unpleasant main characters and a complete perversion of OZ, then you might enjoy this book.
