It’s such a cute book for children with great values and lessons being taught. But well, I’m not a child anymore haha. Yet, I can recommend everyone to give this timeless classic a read.

It’s a classic, what more is there to say other than it let me relive some of my childhood.

Can we talk about how all of the characters rule some part of oz? Like love to see it.

I am pretty familiar with the film, so it was hard not to focus on the differences and judge it as its own thing. A lot of ongoing summarizing of what previously happened, which did get a bit tedious at times. 

5/5 estrellas

"No existe ser viviente que no se asuste cuando se enfrenta con el peligro. El verdadero valor consiste precisamente en enfrentarte con el peligro pese a tu miedo, y creo que esa clase de valor la posees de sobra."

ELIJO quedarme con la magia que brinda al leerlo y no con la introducción que refiere a que el autor imagina un socialismo utópico. Es un cuento de hadas precioso, el primero de una saga (que por ahora no leeré) que desde hace mucho tiempo quería leer.
Es la historia de Dorothy, una niña que sufre las consecuencias de un huracán y sale despedida junto a su perrito Toto y termina cayendo en un mundo maravilloso, la tierra de Oz. Allí existen magos, brujas y objetos parlantes como ser el hombre hojalatas, el espantapájaros y un león, los cuales se convertirán en amigos de Dorothy. Nuestra protagonista quiere volver a su casa, a Kansas, pero para ello debe derrotar a la Bruja del Oeste para que Oz le conceda el deseo de regresarla. Pero no es la única, ya que sus nuevos amigos andan en busca de aquello que les falta: un cerebro, un corazón y valor.
Y hasta aquí cuento. LO RECOMIENDO. Es un libro maravilloso con mensajes de trasfondo como la amistad, el hogar, volver a casa, la lealtad, los valores. No solo para niños, para nosotros los adultos, nos viene bien éste tipo de literatura.

i really enjoyed reading this, can’t believe i’m only reading it now??
i’m very wicked-pilled at the moment so naturally i had to return to ancient text

something that caught me way off guard was all the
killing
...?
everyone’s skipping down the yellow brick road and
catching bodies left and right
