Wicked

First book of 2006 finished!

Okay, fine, so I started it last year, and only finished it last night. At this pace, I’m so not going to finish the 50 book challenge this year (as I have never finished it). Does reading SEC releases count?

So…

I enjoyed it (I know a few people who didn’t). It was too long in a few places – there were certain sections that I probably wouldn’t have noticed if they hadn’t been there, but I’m always a fan of Rashomon-like storytelling. Here you get the story from the Witch’s point of view. The Wizard is a despot, the Witch a freedom fighter, Glinda is actually her best friend (and college roommate), and it still makes perfect sense.
