Title: If you like Jerry Springer then you will love this book
Review: On the basis that there is a grain of truth to every myth this author applied that truism to a well-known fictional character. In doing so he went perhaps a bit too far. Everything that was enchanting about Oz became perverse. Characters took on opposite personalities, and became guilty of every petty motive or moral debauchery possible. The author seems to have exploited every sleazy device to tell this story; rape, adultery, murder, manipulative personalities, animal cruelty, social snobbery, political machinations, and on and on. The story went on forever and became more and more depressing.This story, like others by Maguire, is dense with interweaving plots, too many characters and events, some of which are never fully explained so the significance to the story is questionable. The result is convoluted, sluggish and self-absorbed. I don't recommend this book at all.
