Title: Don't Read this Book - See the Broadway Show
Review: The idea of a counter history of the Wizard of Oz is a clever idea. However, the author's plot is often wrong footed and writing style meandering. I was very disappointed. It was a missed opportunity.This book has gotten a reputation for empowering girls. Yes, the witch marches to the sound of her own drummer, but she certainly is not empowered. She remains a minor cog in the revolt against the Wizard and rarely seems effective.If you want to see how the story is done right, see the Broadway show, which was wonderful. I only wish the author would take a tip from the plot development of the show and rewrite the orginal book.
