Title: Corruption Of A Classic
Review: As a child the Wizard of Oz was one of my favorite movies. It stimulated my imagination. If you are going to rework a classic you need an original concept. The idea of the Wicked Witch being misunderstood, and not truly wicked, intrigued me. In my opinion this book fell far short of it's potential. Everything that was magical in the Wizard of Oz was made mundane in this book. Fantasy was replaced with sexuality, which bored me. I felt no empathy towards any of the characters. There was nothing new and original to compare with talking trees or flying monkeys. By the end I realized what had made the original so great was how scary the Wicked Witch was. Making the witch good and the wizard evil is like rewriting the Lord of the Rings to make Sauron good and Gandalf evil. It just didn't work for me. Please Mr. Maguire, stay away from corrupting any more classics.
