Yes it is quite a bit darker than the musical. The stories really aren't very similar but the book is still very good. It just deals with a lot of "mature" themes. There's a scene where Elphaba comits "murder." There are a few sex scenes, though not graphic at all, there are a few more death scenes, and the looming insanity about the last few chapters. It IS a very good book though.

Hmm. Just sounded to me like that comment was directed at me. I didn't understand why though. I guess I was wrong.

Mine is nessa, I really like the character and how she is... She is spoiled and can be pretty selfish at times, but we all can get that way sometimes

Wow, I think my last post cut out on me... Unless my computer's just wacked.

But the rest of the post said that Nessa is definitely my favorite side character because she has so much to play with emotionally.

YES THIS IS INSANELY LONG! I REALLY DIG DEEP INTO THE CHARACTERS!!!
I would have to say Nessa. Sure, she can be all crazy, play the martyr and stuff but there's a heart under all of that. I can just tell by the way she acts. She just wants to fit in and maybe have her father be at least a LITTLE nicer to Elphaba. The time when she shrunk Boq's heart: NOT intentional. She wanted to win his heart but (as she said) she didn't want to kill him or anything. She basically just wants to fit in and be loved, I think that's all she ever wanted.
