Anyone reading Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz at the moment? Curious whether the opening gives a fair idea of the rest.

Niamh, same question here. A quick note on the pace would help me make up my mind.

Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz is one I am weighing up. The pitches in here are useful. A couple of lines about the tone can tell me more than a score.

Aisling, i have added a boost too. Would be interesting to see how it sits beside the other choices.

For anyone considering Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz: Could someone add a spoiler-free note about the opening? That is usually what helps me choose.
