Several people here recommended NOT to read the book Wicked, but I love the musical so much that I just couldn't resist. I was so disappointed and yet I continued to slog through the whole thing. I'll never get those hours back! I like the musical much better!!

The second book Son of a Witch was WAY worse than Wicked so just make sure you don't read that one. *Seriously* wasted my time on that one.

uh-oh, I am reading Wicked while the girls take their dance lesson(the studio has it on its bookshelf)
I am only to the part where Nanny makes Melena take Elphaba to play with other children.
Is it bad writing or just yuck?

That's what I want to know also. I am only at the beginning but my husband finished it and he said he just didn't like the ending which always makes a book suck!

I'm reading it now.
It makes me uncomfortable in a way I can't put my finger on.
I think I'll stop! :D

bad writing and yuck. I can take a little "yuck" (although I prefer none) if the plot and writing is good. But, I just didn't like any of it. The ending was terrible. The moral premise was depressing. I was just mad at myself for choosing to spend my time on it. I have a really hard time stopping reading a book once I have started it.
But, the musical is AWESOME! Get the music if you like musicals. I am totally addicted!!!

Thank you everyone! I have finally given myself permission to give away Son of a Witch. I struggled though Wicked (I too have a hard time not finishing a book), and couldn't even begin this one, so it will go on to a new home.

I bought it because I love that genre, to read on the plane trip to Disneyland and back.
Oy.
I made it through two chapters, hoping it would get better.
It only got hinkier.
When we got to our hotel in Anaheim, I threw it in the trash. And I SO wanted some eye bleach :eek:
