I have to confess, I loved the first half of Wicked, and then he totally lost me; I just couldn't finish it (which is too bad, since what I remember was a really neat meditation on the nature of evil.)  Alas, the idea could not support the prose.

Dana, did you read any of his other books?  Are they worth checking out?

It's a fun production, but I didn't love the music or the story. I
also read and hated the book Wicked, so I might not be the best
judge. Even after hating the book, I was disappointed that the
musical strays very far from Maguire's story. He makes the witch a
political dissident, and the musical makes her a lonely girl and
really good friend.
