Meandering, principled, imaginative. I first read this book before going to see the original Broadway production of Wicked. It was a tough read, somewhat meandering and not too tightly focused. But still, for the many themes it brings up - prejudice, justice, the search for power, the nature of good & evil - it's well worth a read.
