Helpful Score: 7
A great concept, but unfortunately, I tried, but I just couldn't get into this book. The politics of Oz bored me and they took up a substantial amount of this novel. I was delighted to reach the point where Dororthy arrives in Oz, but it seemed the book was rushed to completion. My favourite section of the novel was Elphaba and Galinda's school years together - who'd have thought they would be roommates and friends!
