Dorothy Must Die, which I lovingly refer to as “Kill Dorothy Vol. I loved that in the Wicked Witch’s story, Dorothy was just some bumbling girl that happened to stumble into Oz and start screwing things up. I would read it around cutting out negatives and burning prints. Wicked came out when I was in college working in the university print shop. Her sweetness always felt too sickly sweet.
I have always been fascinated with the idea that Dorothy Gale wasn’t the great, special, caring girl she was from the movie. So, I’ll show my kind side for a while and gush about a book for a change. Also, there will be Kill Bill gifs, plenty of Kill Bill gifs. One book, this one, gets the distinction of actually throwing me for a such a loop that it changed my whole perception of some things in the book. Two of them, including this one, have been extraordinary experiences. I mean, who wants to be THAT PERSON that frowns at a book that seems to be trying to get out a genuine message? Out of a total of the five YA books (I don’t even normally read five YA books in one year much less one month), three of them have been positive experiences.
The more I think about that the book the more I think I actually really did dislike that one, but just didn’t want to say so because of the awareness message.
I’ll give The Girl from the Well a “VALIANT EFFORT” star for its time, and I don’t want to talk about Thirteen Reasons Why (contemporary YA). Longer than normal reviews usually means a metric ton of bitching on my end. In my defense, this one is actually a favorable review, which brings my “better than decent” YA book count up to three for 2016. This is a long review, but you know I don’t usually write short reviews, especially not about the YA books.
