Ack--sorry, tried to edit the post, but it wouldn't let me.

Just wanted to add that I rather liked the story.

It's not a true story, so I understand.

So I take it that if she's not drawing from personal experience that hoping for "Her Peter Fonda" would be in vain.  >:(

As with Wicked, I think there are weaknesses in the denouement prescribed by the source material for this character--I find both Angelique and Elphaba shrill simulacra of the characters established earlier in their respective stories in those final chapters.

I'm currently reading Wicked and am about half through.  Are you saying I shouldn't get my hopes up too high concerning the end?  So far it'a very good read IMHO.
