A review by tcgarback
The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum
2.0
⭐️⭐️
Critical Score: B-
Personal Score: D+
I guess this isn’t terrible or anything, but I just couldn’t get myself to be amused at all. It just feels like shallow, kiddish nonsense. There’s no thematic interest here, and the drama isn’t enticing. I was charmed by the first few chapters and then lost all interest.
I will say that the gender discussion at play is fodder for fun debate, though I don’t think Baum is really making any intentional or clear commentary.
