Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

I cannot give a fair rating for this book, since I haven't ever finished it. I've attempted twice and gotten half way. There's this one really long drawn out part. But I will try again.

I love the musical so much, and the book does add more depth into the story of Elphaba and Glinda (of course pictured as Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth in my head when I read), and I like what I've read so far. It's written like a classic, and we all know what that can mean. Who knows.. maybe I've gotten two pages from the book picking back up. I really enjoyed the beginning about Elphaba growing up and being sent to school. But then when you get into all the clock stuff, it starts slowing down for me. I hate to be the one to never finish a book though, so I will. I freaking will.
