This was an enjoyable read and a pretty cool perspective on a story I remember from childhood. (I kept thinking of the Oz miniseries that recently showed on SciFi, though!) I wanted to stop before the end, because, of course, I was sympathetic to the main character, and we all know how she ends up... But I couldn't actually put it down until the last page.

It's always worthwhile to explore the meaning of good and evil, as well as our human tendency to believe the first side of the story we hear. In that light, and because it is well-written, I would recommend this book to others.
