Helpful Score: 5
I loved Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, so I had high hopes for this book. The writing was good and the rethinking of Oz and the characters of the Wizard of Oz intelligent and thought-provoking. However, it wasn't good enough for me to want to reread. This is the sort of book to be read at a leisurely pace over several days, and didn't keep me turning the pages the way Confessions did. I was surprised to realize that I actually liked the retelling of the Wizard of Oz in the musical Wicked better than the book for character development, although the book definitely had more nuanced political and religion-related commentary.
