Wow, I can’t believe it took me this long to finally read The Wizard of Oz! I’ve always been a fan of the movie, but with Wicked having such a resurgence in pop culture, I decided to go back and experience the original story that inspired it all. What an adventure! I absolutely loved noticing all the differences between the book and the film—it was fascinating to see how the characters and events originally played out.

I’d highly recommend setting aside some time to jump into this classic. In fact, I’m already considering reading it again! It’s a five-star read with zero complaints from me. I simply couldn’t put it down!
