um...I kinda *liked* Wicked. I've read it one and a half times, and went and saw the musical this summer. I bought the sequel but haven't had time to read it yet.
Yeah...it is graphic. Austin read it before I did and he was literally walking around and shuddering as he was reading it. But we agree that there's maybe a reason for all the graphic-ness. That the author is (hopefully) using it to make a point. And that, whether or not that's the intent, a point is made by it anyway.
I don't know if you'd like it...but I did, in that odd, why-in-the-world-do-I-like-it sort of way.
