If anyone's read both Confessions and Wicked, how do they compare?

I've read both (Wicked first and then Confessions) and I didn't like Confessions as much. If I had read that one first, I don't think I would have read Wicked either.
I've read both
Wicked and
Son of a Witch and I liked them both much better than
Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, which I had a hard time finishing. (It's been several years so I can't give you a better review than that -- just that I liked the Oz books and not the other one.)
I recently bought
A Lion Among Men -- about the Cowardly Lion -- but I have not read it yet.
