I was all for this book, especially in the beginning. It's unique, rather morbid, and a cool twist on a well beloved classic fantasy. Amy Gumm pretty much hates her life in Kansas. Her mom's a druggie who doesn't care about her, she barely has any friends. Life just sucks. Then the tornado comes a...
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 blue birds. B...
I could not resist buying this book. A retelling of The Wizard of Oz that puts a totally new spin on the characters? Yeah, dude. Count me in. Amy's spent her whole life stuck in a trailer with her alcoholic mom, stuck in a school where she gets teased all the time and where everyone is against her...
I'm an Oz fan from way back. Not the movie, so much, but the actual book series which most people don't know exists. (Honestly, the book the movie is based on is not my favorite.) Dorothy Must Die is the book I didn't know I was waiting for. It pays wonderful homage to the Oz books but lends such a ...
I adore retellings. I don't know why. Maybe it's because a classic story can live on through other people's ideas. Maybe it's because a villain gets the chance to be a hero. Maybe it's because a book can be retold in such a way that it just blows your mind. I loved this! I admit, it started slow and...
Dorothy is Evil. Oz is decimated. There is no freeedom. This twist on a classic tale is only the beginning! I was completely riveted by this book! Never in a million years would I have imagined the cruelty that our known heroine Dorothy, and our good witch Glinda, display in this tale. Another girl ...
Danielle is such a creative writer. In Dorothy Must Die, Amy wants a way from her boring world where her mom's a bitch and she alone. She gets swept away in to the lovely world of Oz. But is's not the lovely lively world we all come to know. Dorothy changed it. So Amy is tasked by the Oder of The Wi...
Dorothy Must Die took me a very long time to read - nearly a month, when I usually finish books this length (400+ pages) in 1-2 days, max. The problem, despite the interesting premise and the promising setup, was that I found this book so boring to read. I'd rather read anything else - I read at lea...
* There be spoilers ahead! *This book was extremely disappointing! The author had this awesome idea of an oppressed Oz with an evil Dorothy, and she literally turned it into pages and pages of nothing. It feels like stuff is happening but after thinking back on it nothing of interest happened. It st...
