The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum

It took me a while to read this book because it didn't hook me in any way. I initially bought this book to read a children's classic, but oh boy, it is really just a children's book. The writing was basic, the characters were flat. Personally, I didn't like it.

I wouldn't really recommend this book, but you want to read it, go ahead... just don't expect an awesome read.

I didn't really know what to expect going into this book. I've seen the movie and read other books based on Oz but as the the actual book, no clue.

I was a bit hesitant when there was a chapter or two where they just stop to eat or whatever they may be doing. But those chapters give a bigger glimpse into the world.

I have always been a fan of the movie and became an even bigger fan when I read a series based off of Oz that I just had to read the orginal stories. I'm excited to read more in the future!

Da fan accanita del famosissimo musical, non potevo non leggere questo libro.
Cinque stelle meritate (soprattutto grazie alle illustrazioni originali sparse tra le pagine) ❤️
