Out of Oz by Gregory Maguire
3.0
UG. This book was really hard to get through, though it did pick up and get more interesting in the second half, I thought. It's lucky I got it from the library and it was due, or it would have taken much, much longer to finish. I really love what he did with Rain, but then I tend to like the way he sketches out his characters.
Also I kept trying to fit it contextually into the movie Return to Oz and that the fact that it didn't really seem to made me uncomfortable. Of course though, that movie wasn't true to the original Baum books, so I'll have to reserve judgement on that until I read more of his work. I loved Wicked but it all went downhill from there. Let's just say I'm glad I'm done with this series.
