Trying to finish this book before the movie come out!!😬
I was driving in the countryside yesterday, listening to Wicked and came across a tin man mailbox!!
What a #coinkydink !
I‘m re-listening to this since the movie is coming out soon.
I read the book years ago and really did not enjoy it. It‘s still not my favorite book, but I‘m enjoying it a little better this time.
I have never seen the musical, which must have its own life, with such great music. It will be fun to see the movie adaptation.
I read this way back when it was first released. But someone lost my original copy. My daughter already bought us tickets for the movie. She‘s really excited for our mother-daughter date. But I think a reread is in order. And it gave me an excuse to buy this beautiful edition as a replacement.
I live in Kansas so have to try Wizard of Oz inspired 📖 even though Kansas typically gets the short end of the where-to-plant-your-feet stick. I expected 11yo Dorothy as the MC. Instead fictional Dr Evelyn Grace Woodford (cousin to the IRL Frank L Baum) rode in from New York to save Dorothy from rural religious Kansans. I get and respect the message, the bastardization of faith - I just wish it wasn‘t with Dorothy, Uncle Henry, and Auntie Em.
When I read this back in '07, I was so impressed. I loved the play, too, but it wasn't nearly as #dark as the book!
