Some of the parts ere interesting, but I wondered if they were more of the authors input. I do love all the connections Oz has with other things that were happening at that time. To me, Oz is Americana. Something I think people should read at once. Some of the stuff are dated, but works if you know about the time period. Of course most people only know about the classic movie, it a good movie, but that's not the whole Oz story.
My only two complaints I had were this was one briefly covering the other Oz books. I still want to know what made Baum decided to make Tip and Ozma the same character making it kind of odder reading the book today with the transgender movement. My other complaint is he referenced the movie too many times. I think once or twice is good, but he didn't even talk about Return to Oz which actually follows the books over other movies. He should had just stuck with the books maybe and briefly talked about the movie.
If you are a fan of not just the books but the history of the books and L. Frank Baum's life then I recommenced this book to you. Maybe if you like the movie too, but I would read the books before reading this. I would also recommend to read some Joseph Campbell too before reading this because he quotes that man a lot too (which is perfect). This book covers a lot and I'm not going into all of it, but like I said I enjoyed this book.… (plus d'informations)
