Publisher's Summary
Elphaba is born with green skin, a precocious mind, and a talent for magic. An outcast throughout her childhood in Munchkinland, she finally begins to feel as though she fits in when she enters the University in the Emerald City. While she hones her skills, she discovers that Oz isn't the Utopia it seems. She sets out to protect its unwanted creatures, becoming known as the Wicked Witch along the way.
Narrator John McDonough draws you in to Maguire's magical world of witches and talking animals, making it possible to believe in a land somewhere over the rainbow.
What the critics say
"A staggering feat of wordcraft." (Los Angeles Times)
"McDonough's excellent portrayals of Elphaba's outspoken, gravel-voiced nanny, Glinda's snobbish friends, and the wide-eyed, soft-spoken Dorothy make this excursion to Oz worthwhile." (Publishers Weekly)

So complicated
I still don’t know what happened. Complicated fantasy. Not for me I guess. Very long.

Love the Wicked series!
the voice of Norr left me feeling uneasy at times. perhaps in the future multiple narrators could be used for female voices. just a thought

Not what I was Expecting
I've owned the book for years, struggled to read past chapter 5 or so. I thought I would try listening to the audio book. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. It was still a struggle to finish it, but I would now consider reading the hard back since I know what to expect. All in all it was an experience.
