Thank you , Elphaba Thropp.

Screw all the other tales about witches and mages . Forget everything you heard about the Wonderful Wizard. That's how one can actually enjoy the beautiful and profound story written in this book.

By far it's the best one I've ever read. I read a lot , by the way.

 Being a lone wolf for most of my life , I couldn't help but relate to Elphaba Thropp and her shortcomings in facing love , happiness and success in all sorts.

 The whole being born green thing  cannot be unseen as an allusion to being different , in skin , thoughts or sexuality. She was even born a hermaphrodyte!

What captures me the most is her strenght when in peryl. She crosses a lake to save a monkey without realizing that her magical powers freeze the water beneath her feet to safeguard her action!

She has a kid and totally forgets about the ordeal. She saves a country from an oppressor by simply being her! Being Green , Powerful and Complicated is what leads her to victory , even though she doesn't live to see it.

Wicked , by Gregory Maguire , is tge best book for difficult people who tried to fit in and got tired of it.

The best one!
