The Musical is definitely better than the book. Clearly it has taken bits from the book and made it spectacular. Unlike many productions out there, this is one of the few which I adore the adaptation of the book rather than the book itself.

I wouldn't say this book kept me enthralled until the very end, but that's also probably in part because I am not as familiar with The Wizard of Oz as many readers may be. I will say that one doesn't have to have seen the movie to be able to follow the narrative, but it does make things more interesting. I enjoyed the twists towards the end, but I can't say I was absolutely impressed by this book. I would have given it three stars, but the writing itself was beautiful. I do plan on reading the sequels in the series now as I'm curious to find out where the author takes the story from here.

I read the book when I knew I was going to see the West End show, however, it's fair to say I was disappointed. It was so wrapped up in the politics of Oz, and other underlying characters that weren't really significant that I lost interested. I made myself a vow that I will always finish a book, because the author has obviously put a lot of work in to it, but I really struggled with this one. The main character of Elphaba I found hard to sympathise with as well, in fact most of the characters were unlikeable.
