The Tenth Circle & Book #25
(I back dated this because I wasn't able to update when it happened)
This book is awful. I decided not to finish it. Not even halfway through and I realized it was not for me. I skipped ahead and read the end and it doesn't get any better. It was basically the Steubenville, OH travesty all over again. Except it wasn't as many people. I was angry and disgusted when I read about that when it happened, I don't want to read something like that for fun. I'd say she just took her idea from the headlines, but the book was published in 2006. Doesn't mean she didn't get it from the Duke headlines though. Same thing pretty much.
So I guess Jodi Picoult just isn't for me. She wrote one book that I really like and the rest I'll just ignore.
I got My name is Amy Gumm—and I’m the other girl from Kansas. After a tornado swept through my trailer park, I ended up in Oz. But it wasn’t like the Oz I knew from books and movies. Dorothy had returned, but she was now a ruthless dictator. Glinda could no longer be called the Good Witch. And the Wicked Witches who were left? They’d joined forces as the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked, and they wanted to recruit me.
My mission? Kill Dorothy. Except my job as assassin didn’t work out as planned. Dorothy is still alive. The Order has vanished. And the home I couldn’t wait to leave behind might be in danger.
Somehow, across a twisted and divided land, I have to find the Order, protect the true ruler of Oz, take Dorothy and her henchmen down—and try to figure out what I’m really doing here. for my birthday and after the awful mess of the last book, I decided to read this.
I finished it in two days, but it wasn't even 300pgs, so that's not really impressive. I really liked it. I wish I didn't have to wait for the next one to come out. The author loves her cliff hangers... :(
