Last library visit, I checked out an audio book of Wicked. I've listened to it on my daily commute for two weeks now, all seventeen discs of it (no exaggeration here, although seventeen is one of my favorite "undefined large number" substitutions) and finished it this morning.
I can't honestly say I liked it. I'm not sure I can say I disliked it, either, in the overall. But I just couldn't seem to buy into it, for a number of reasons. Kept listening mostly because the alternative was Pledge Week on NPR.
I know a lot of people who loved the musical. I'm wondering whether any or all of my objections are alleviated by the different format. Anyone out there both seen the musical and read the book who'd like to weigh in?
