Wicked is the story of the Wicked Witch of the West's childhood
and rise to the infamous witch. The book begins by telling the
story of how she came to be; a big green mistake. Elphaba, the
witch, then gets admission to the illustrious Shiz College.
While there, she befriends Glinda, a prim and proper roommate
of Elphaba. After the "death" of a chaperone, Elphaba
runs off and joins a resistance group. As death and conspiracy
followed her, she went to Vinkus in seek of forgiveness. While
there, Dorothy arrives and Elphaba's life begins to unravel.
Dorothy is told by the not-so-wonderful Wizard of ZOZ to kill
the witch. When Dorothy reaches the witch's castle, Elphaba
threatens Dorothy with a broom on fire; lighting her dress on
fire in the process. Dorothy then tried to save her by splashing
her with water. Elphaba then died. I did enjoy reading the book.
