I've read Wicked and seen the play based on Wicked. I didn't especially like the book, but I found the musical hilarious (it's was like a Disney movie). The main reason why I didn't like the book is that it really doesn't seem to match with the idea of what the original creator had of Oz, or the image I had of it. Maguire's Oz is too... I dunno. It's not a bad book in itself. But as an Oz adaptation, I don't like it much. It lacks the fairy tale quality that most adaptations have. I think I would have liked it better if it was just a book with original characters. With original characters, I probably would have loved it. But hey, that's my opinion :D It still spawned a musical I enjoyed.

I'm overly critical of all things Oz.

I can't wait to see Beastly! We should go together if we can.

I hope you're doing all right. you looked a little tired yesterday :( Let me know if you need anything!
