Library review: Wicked audiobook.

So this is a 16 CD audio recording of the book Wicked by Gregory Maguire. It is read very well by John McDonough. I had expectations about what the book of Wicked was, and it's not really like what I expected. I'm not really enjoying it. I guess it's an interesting story, and the world of Oz is richly detailed, but it's not nice, but it's not funny, in fact it's pretty coarse and unpleasant. I wonder about all the teenage girl fans of Wicked who buy it. The musical improved on it a LOT.
