I'm currently almost done with Wicked by Gregory Maguire and I LOVE it. It's very close to my favorite book. Not only does it have an awesome musical semi-based off of it, the book is just awesome. All of the characters are very strange, but amusing to read about. All of the characters are very memorable and realistic too, if you ignore that some of them are green or Animals.
The book is basically the life story of the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba. Elphaba is green, which caused her to be looked at as weird since birth. The book tells of her birth and childhood, then her time at Shiz University where she met Glinda the Good Witch among other interesting characters (Tibbett+Crope *heart*), and then the rest of her life where she worked to stop the Wizard from completely destroying Oz.
I love Tibbett and Crope, even though Tibbett lost it after Philosophy Club, an "interesting" part of the book *cough*. Elphie is also amazing. I would love to be green.
