I am so glad to have found your rant review on Wicked. I had heard so much about this book over the years and finally decided to give it a go during holiday break. I am *so* disappointed. You articulated exactly how I felt when I finished this evening including the feeling that I WASTED my time reading it. I actually told my husband I wanted to use it for kindling for when we make a fire for Christmas as my revenge.
And, yes, I was so mad about it that I went seeking reviewers who felt the same way I did. I wanted to know if I was the only one.
