The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank BaumMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This made an interesting short read. Like everyone else on the planet I had watched the movie and like most people had never read the book. The movie was definitely a brilliant adaption of the book and it took the best parts of the book in my opinion. It was great to read the other bits though the parts that didn’t get into the movie.
Things that were great about the book that was missing from the movie was the backstory on why the scarecrow wanted a brain, tinman wanted a heart and lion wanted courage (The book was worth reading just for those answers in my opinion). There is a backstory behind the flying monkey’s too the wicked queen can’t just call them whenever she wishes. The book also had a lot more violence than the movies. They fought off a lot more attackers on their quest.
Also biggest thing I noticed slippers were not actually Ruby Red which was shocking!
