I didn t ask for any of this I didn t ask to be some kind of hero.But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado taking you with it you have no choice but to go along, you know Sure, I ve read the books I ve seen the movies I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little bluebirds But I never expected Oz to look like this To be a place where Good Witches can t be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion There s still a yellow brick road but even that s crumbling.What happened Dorothy.They say she found a way to come back to Oz They say she seized power and the power went to her head And now no one is safe.My name is Amy Gumm and I m the other girl from Kansas.I ve been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked.I ve been trained to fight.And I have a mission.

Disappointment 1 This book was extremely boring for about 80% of the 432 pages I was tempted to call it slow at first because it certainly felt like it, but I guess stuff was constantly happening I just didn t care about any of it Occasionally I would perk up because I read an interesting page and then I would go bac...I won t be reading this Not because of the author, but because of this4.5 stars Well, color me surprised this was excellent Such a great reimagining of a skewed Oz, with interesting characters, awesome and imaginative use of magic, lots of humor and gore, and genuine emotion And it s just plain fun Abrupt ending, and a couple of other little quibbles, but it s really exciting to have a debut author burst into the scene with such a confident, smart debut Easily followed if you aren t so familiar with the original books or films, but also so many layers to appr 4.5 stars Well, color me surprised this was excellent Such a great reimagining of a skewed Oz, with

boredom.How do you make the flip one of the most known and beloved stories onto its head book uninteresting Good question Let me give you some pointers 1 Make the beginning relatively strong, to draw the readers in and to remind them as the story drags along that this story had potential , that it could have had a strong narrative voic So, Dorothy must die, huh Well, perhaps But if this book is

potentially be on TV And I just really want to see Dorothy die Is that too much UPDATE 4 1 14So good Lots of action and twists that I didn t see coming One of the most brutal and violent YA books I ve ever read, which just makes it that muchepic since it s set in Oz And Danielle Paige knows her L Frank Baum I ve read probably 10 books about Oz an The CW is developing this book and it s time to get

silly to me at first, but the story is in no way simplistic I know I m super late to this party but here we go Amy Gumm s an unpopular girl who lives with her unsupportive mother in a trailer park in Kansas There s a lot of unnecessary girl hate at the start, but then a tornado comes and drops Amy off in a dystopian version of Oz Princess Dorothy and Glinda are no longer good and are carrying out

the quirk in the title rather humorous and have seen variations of it before a.k.a Hello Kitty Must Die, etc But sadly, Danielle Paige s debut really didn t impress me all that much.It s the very definition of what I call great premise, lacking execution But that s not to say that I disliked it collectively No, it left me quite disappo I think Dorothy Must Die was one of the titles I initially
