Wicked

I'm going to apologize in advance for offending anyone with this post, it's just my opinion so don't be too hurt though. I'm reading Wicked right now and I have to say I'm disappointed. I'm over 150 pages in so far, it's starting to get interesting, but it's been like walking through sludge to get this far. I've heard so many good things about the book, but all the wierd language bogged me down, it just didn't intrigue me. The idea of the book interests me much more than the book itself. I'm hoping that I haven't wasted my time reading it so far, but as I see it now it's not looking good. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read.
