If you thought the movie “The Wizard of Oz” was strange, you’ll really question the drubs Baum was reading when he put together this book. The fourth of fourteen books written by L. Frank Baum about the wonderful world of Oz, this title has all the unusual aspects, odd characters, unusual landscapes and mystery you would expect.
In Dorothy, gravity doesn’t exist if you don’t need it. The land grows glass structures. The people are plants. The wizard dispatches the local sorcerer by slicing him in two. The horse and cat talk and the wizard pulls apart baby pigs. And so far I’m only on chapter three.
I try to read more than Grisham novels and Stephen Ambrose history. But after tackling Dorothy, I might reconsider this plan.
