Book Reviews of Was
Book Review: "Was" it worth the Trip?
Summary: 3 Stars
Wldly orginal, creative but at times depressing novel about the inspiration for L. Frank Baum to write the Wizard of Oz. We also see the fictionalized perspectives of individuals connected and affected by the now classic film. We are introduced to the real Dorthoy Gael an orphaned girl who is molested by her Uncle Henry. "Gee Toto, I really don't think we're in Kansas anymore." The parts dealing with Judy Garland flew for me, the pioneer Gael parts along with a man suffering from AIDS demetia dragged.
