Comments: The Yellow Road Not Taken is NOT your momma's Wonderful Wizard of Oz. If you're looking for the heartwarming, sugary simplicity of the original L.Frank Baum story, run. Run now. Run far away. If you're ready for a happily acerbic, satirical sendup in which the Cowardly Lion suffers from crippling anxiety, the Tin Woodsman is a psychopath, and the Scarecrow is gloriously, undeniably brainless, then you're in the right place. If you want a story about how three hopeless misfits (umm, wait, five with Dorothy and her pig Toto). Anyway, if you want to see how they pool their limited resources to find triumph in the end, then you're in for a treat you won't soon forget. Throw away your pre-conceptions. Fall into the vortex of a tornado's worth of twists and turns. Dive into a revered, almost universal story that wowed readers long before the MGM movie of the 1930s. You think you know this story. You think you can almost recite it from memory. But I guarantee this tale of growth, redemption, and found family will take you places you never imagined. And you absolutely, positively do not know how it ends. |
