Book Review of Wicked (Wicked Years, Bk 1)

Wicked (Wicked Years, Bk 1)

This is really a quirky story that flips the Wizard of Oz story on its head... I wanted to read it before I went to see the musical Wicked, although I understand it is pretty different from this book. All about the Wicked Witch of the West... birth to death. She isn't really as wicked as she appears... just unappreciated by her family, tormented by injustice, conflicted in love, and searching for meaning (aren't we all?!?). I liked it and recommend it. I agree with others who have reviewed it here who say the story moved slowly in parts... this is true, but all in all it is interesting and worth the read.
