It was good to read the original of this and see what had changed to the versions I know - the ruby slippers were actually silver!

You aren't always where you want to be, but sometimes that means you're helping someone else.

Overall it was an enjoyable read as far as children books go. I don't have much to say tbh, because I read Wicked just before and I think it made me completely biased. I'll just say one thing : f*ck The Wizard.

Dans l'ensemble, c'était une lecture agréable et un bon livre pour enfants. J'ai lu Wicked juste avant et je pense que cela m'a rendu plutôt partial. Je n'ai pas grand chose à dire, sauf : f*ck Le Magicien.
