Title: Very disappointing.
Review: Being the type of person who enjoys watching the Wicked Witch of the West melt in slow motion, I thought this book would be an interesting read. It was, until I got past the first chapter on the future witch's childhood. From then on, this book became a chore to finish. It doesn't even know what type of book it wants to be: tongue and cheek, serious, political or sexual. All of these elements are thrown in for good measure. Strange dialogue and silly plot twists persist throughout the book. The horrible throw-away ending only added to my regret at not putting the book down when our heroine was sharing a room with Glinda (the soon to be Good Witch of the North,) in college. (Really.) Don't be fooled by the premise of the book, which appears to have great promise. That promise is not fulfilled. To each his own, but I'm at a loss to understand how anyone could have given this book five stars.
