I really, really liked this book! I honestly had pretty low expectations going into this book and thought it wouldn't compare at all to the greatness of the 1939 movie (which is one of my favorite movies), but I was wrong. It was one of the best children's classics that I've ever read and I even loved how it wasn't that similar to the movie, so it kept me interested. I also had a beautiful hardcover Puffin Classics edition, so that make the experience even better! All in all, I'm so glad that I had to read it for my class! The book was very gripping and flowing. Yes, the book may be a fairy tale, but in my opinion, anyone from 7 to 70 can read it. Because while you are reading the book, you also learn from some things. When you read at the age of 7, you can think of other things, and if you read at the age of 70, you can think of other things. I can say that the book adds something to you. By the way, while reading the adventures of our hero Dorothy, I felt as if I was with them in the book. Will they always have the things they want? How is it going to be ? How will they do? I said stop. One of the things that makes the book so good, I think, is the simplicity of the author's language.
