The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum

3.0

adventurous lighthearted

Weirder than I remember the movie being. Dorothy is bland but her supporting cast is more interesting. I initially liked the concept of the scarecrow, tin man, and lion searching for something they always had within them. However, there was no self-discovery, ultimately. This cheapened their characters.

Oz being a charlatan also was a potentially deep well of philosophical potential that was wasted here.
