Jennifer Rudder- The Wizard of Oz

I chose this book because it was a familiar title and I like the movie. As in most cases, the book is a lot different from the movie. I feel like the book is kind of boring and the writing isn't too exciting. I also feel like the author is constantly trying to create imagery, but it doesn't really work. It's almost as is he's trying too hard. I prefer the movie to the book, which actually shocked me. I wish I had chosen a book that would have given me more insight into American history.

Thomas Britton- After reading this post I am happy with my decision to read One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, because I almost chose this book for similar reasons.
