Title: A Must Avoid
Review: As a fan of Broadway musicals, I wanted to read the book before seeing the show (never heard of the book prior to the musical). There were several points while reading WICKED that I wanted to put it down and not finish it I was so offended and appalled at Maguire's writing.My wife also read it and had a difficult time with it. Recently we were talking with some other theater buffs who read the book and they threw the copy out they had purchased (fortunately, we only borrowed ours from the local library). The musical is only loosely based upon the book and the book seems to have very little relation, if any, to the original Oz. This is a book we could have done without.
