I finished Wicked last night. It was a wonderful book. Maguire did a great job taking the familiar Wizard of Oz story and adapting it to tell the story of the Wicked Witch of the West, or Elphaba (before she became the wicked witch). The way he described things made them easy to picture, which made the book really easy to get in to.
Throughout the story, throughout the transitions in Elphaba's life, the writing made it so easy to follow.
Glinda was annoying for most of the novel...I need to share that...if you haven't seen the musical before you read the book, be prepared.
I definitely am on the look out for the next time the musical comes to Kansas City...
Tonight I start book 2: Son of a Witch...
