Wicked by Gregory Maguire

slow-paced

Take away all that you know about the Broadway show and remember this was used as an inspiration to create said show. Okay, that being said.... This book was kinda a mess. There was a lot of things that just happened without much of an explanation and it really goes throughout the Wicked Witch's life from birth until her end. That's a long timeline to fit a lot of stuff into! There were so many events talked about but not many of explanations of some plot (if you can call it a plot) points, which led me a bit confused. It was very slow, some parts were more developed than others, but still didn't feel wrapped up in the end like a book should.
