By the end I just really needed L. Frank Baum to stop using the following words:
Brains
Heart
Courage
Kansas

That is all

I watched The Wizard of Oz dozens and dozens of time growing up, but never read the book. It differed significantly from the movie and I think the movie did it better.

Not a bad book, but it was odd. Being postpartum, I read it because I wanted something easy and familiar. But I didn't love it. It was a bit repetitive for a book that isn't that long.
