#4.9 wicked for good: book vs film

from The Bookcast Club

Sarah and Jenny discuss the recent release of Wicked: For Good and how it compares to the book. The book is dark and complex, a strong contrast to the book. They discuss what they loved and hated about the film, and what was gained or lost in the translation from Gregory Maguire's Wicked. Have you read the book and/or seen the film? What did you think?
