I loved it. I didn't think I would, even as I began reading it, but as I read liked the fact that the characters who we met in The Wizard of Oz are totally different, but at the same time there are many references to the more familiar story - where did the Ruby Slippers come from, why was the Lion cowardly, where the monkey got their wings....all very cleverly woven into this tale! In my mind, I like to keep the original story and this one separate, though - things are much more clear cut in the original, while this book blurs the lines between good and evil.
