WTMindy Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Several people here recommended NOT to read the book Wicked, but I love the musical so much that I just couldn't resist. I was so disappointed and yet I continued to slog through the whole thing. I'll never get those hours back! I like the musical much better!!

Mrs Mungo Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 The second book Son of a Witch was WAY worse than Wicked so just make sure you don't read that one. *Seriously* wasted my time on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 uh-oh, I am reading Wicked while the girls take their dance lesson(the studio has it on its bookshelf) I am only to the part where Nanny makes Melena take Elphaba to play with other children. Is it bad writing or just yuck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it bad writing or just yuck? That's what I want to know also. I am only at the beginning but my husband finished it and he said he just didn't like the ending which always makes a book suck!

unsinkable Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I'm reading it now. It makes me uncomfortable in a way I can't put my finger on. I think I'll stop! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMindy Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 bad writing and yuck. I can take a little "yuck" (although I prefer none) if the plot and writing is good. But, I just didn't like any of it. The ending was terrible. The moral premise was depressing. I was just mad at myself for choosing to spend my time on it. I have a really hard time stopping reading a book once I have started it. But, the musical is AWESOME! Get the music if you like musicals. I am totally addicted!!!

Laurel Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Thank you everyone! I have finally given myself permission to give away Son of a Witch. I struggled though Wicked (I too have a hard time not finishing a book), and couldn't even begin this one, so it will go on to a new home.

Ellie Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I bought it because I love that genre, to read on the plane trip to Disneyland and back. Oy. I made it through two chapters, hoping it would get better. It only got hinkier. When we got to our hotel in Anaheim, I threw it in the trash. And I SO wanted some eye bleach :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
