Query: Wicked awful

I had heard a lot about Wicked the book and musical and thought I would try the book. I found the content and the characters to be more grotesque and gross than wicked. The plot and setting skipped around a lot, and it lacked what they call "continuity" in film. For example, way into the book, suddenly there are Animals and animals, the first of which talk, wear clothes and hold jobs. They should have been introduced earlier. I stopped reading around there.
