2011 book 290

Gregory Maguire's Wicked
I hadn't read this since college and was in the mood for a more grown-up fairy tale story. I remembered liking this a lot, but actually it's surprisingly boring at times (lots of long speeches about made-up politics and religions). I had planned on reading the sequels after this, but I don't really want to now. Have any of you read them? Are they worth checking out?

I've always felt like I was the only person who didn't like this book. I love fairy tale re-imaginings, but I just found it to be really boring. Guess I'm no help for whether to read the others :)

I wondered if the others were more interesting since he didn't have to fit his storyline into the movie's, but then I decided I didn't really care enough to find out. :)
