Bored by Wicked

My reading comes and goes in spurts. Sometimes I’ll tear through books quickly, and sometimes life’s distractions just won’t allow me the time that I rather be spending reading. My pile of books ‘on deck’ is growing higher.

And because I don’t get as much reading time as I’d like, I really don’t like it when I’ve wasted any of it. If I start a book, I’m gonna finish the book. But not this time.

I wanted to read the book Wicked in anticipation of seeing the musical while it’s in Washington. But the musical is sold out, and the book has bored me to tears. I got a little more than halfway through it before admitting defeat. I wanted to like this book, and the idea of a prequel to give background to The Wizard of OZ had real appeal to me. But it just never grabbed me. So I’m setting this one aside to move onto other volumes.

To the person who bought the book by following the Amazon link on my site, well, I hope you like it better than I did. And thanks for the 51 cents referral fee.
