Status Updates From The Wizard of Oz

I thought that that book gave more character to the characters in the story then from the movie and it does not put in the "It was all a dream" cliché but puts Dorothy outside of her family's house.

I really liked how the flying monkeys had a backstory to how they obeyed to the wicked witch. I also like why the wicked witch could not touch water. Why does the wicked witch not like the dark.

I like how the witch of the west had more help from more of her helpers or slaves. I also enjoyed how Dorothy and her friends had to go in the room with Oz one by one. I can picture what Oz looks like when he said the he was the great and terrible and when he change forms.

I like that they added more enemies for the 4 of them to face off. Many of the monsters are not said in the movie and I really like how and why they added them in. When the lion was fighting the Kaldahs when he was scared this reminded me of when I was afraid but I fought on anyway.

I like how they explained why the tin man doesn't have a heart. I also liked how they gave him a backstory. Why does the lion not have courage.

I liked how Dorothy was an orphan but was adopted by her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry so it give the readers to know why she is living with them. The reader also understand why she was in the house during the storm. Based on what I read I can infer that that the Scarecrow has no brain because he has too much hay in his head
