Gina Menchetti

For my summer reading I decided to read The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. While I was familiar with the overall theme because of the 1939 film, I was still intrigued to actually read the classic that started the whole phenomenon. I was very surprised to find just how different the two were, and was very disappointed that the movie didn't touch on many major adventures Dorothy and her friends encountered throughout the book. The book (in my opinion) had much more substance; and while the movie is always enjoyable to watch, the actual book has much more to offer.

Jordan Webb to Gina Menchetti

I also read The Wizard of Oz and thought the book had a lot more substance and details. I felt that these details were not really necessary, just kind of made the book more wordy. The book for sure has more to offer but I agree with Gina on the movie being much more enjoyable.
