No Place Like Oz by Danielle PaigeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
No Place Like Oz was a really good read!
I felt quite sorry for Dorothy in the beginning. The girls she called her friends were awful. Laughing at her birthday present becuase it wasn't expensive, and laughing at her stories of Oz were a really horrible thing to do, and was defiantly not the behaviour of a friend. I understand that her stories of Oz would be really unbelievable, but there was no need to laugh about it.
I felt really sorry for Aunt Em. She couldn't afford to buy Dorothy an expensive dress like she wanted, so tried her best to make one of her old dresses look special. She must have been heartbroken, embarresed and felt hopeless when everyone started laughing at it. I felt even more sorry for her when the power of Oz went to Dorothy's head, as she was the one that she was taking it out on most!
The author did a brilliant job recreating the world of the wizard of Oz.
Overall, A great retelling of the wizard of Oz!

I read that after I read Dorothy Must Die, and I'm kind of glad that I read them the way I did because the prequel didn't hold my interest as much as the full length novel.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the second book, The Wicked Will Rise to come out. I need it now.
I can't wait for the second book either!
