Title: Not everyone's cup of tea
Review: If you're a fan of the old Oz stories, you may be quite disappointed like me. Going into this, I was not expecting or hoping for cursing and sexual vulgarities, and after a while it became annoying. There's too much of it, and the storytelling is not exactly engrossing. There's the musical, which I'm sure is delightful in its own way, but far too much of this book and the musical have to do with the "Let's sparkle! Let's be dramatic!" state of mind. If you're into that, you will probably like this. But if you watched Return to Oz and thought "now THIS is how Oz stories should be", then I'd suggest giving it a miss.For the record, this is not folk-lore for Oz. The author is not the same man who wrote the originals, which I think it stands to question: "Why don't you create your own fictional world?" This just encourages the use of remaking things.So not my cup of tea. Possibly not yours. It's just a warning.
