Title: Wicked was a real downer.
Review: After obtaining tickets to see the stage show "Wicked" with my grandchildren, I ordered this book to learn how it related to the earlier OZ books. I forced myself to finish it, but have talked with other people who gave up on it. It is depressing with far too much angst; Dorothy doesn't appear until about page 375 and is hardly the brave little girl in the real Oz books. Fortunately, the story line in the stage show was changed and the characters fitted my expectation of characters from Oz. Save your money on this book and buy tickets to the show.
