Excellent!! Thought it would be dry & boring. Surprised that the combination of studies/data combined with personal stories of the author along with stories of victims was engaging and thought provoking!

Nice mix of author life (Baum/ author of OZ. made me want to find out more about him) and some behinds the scenes of making of The Wizard of Oz (not to much though). Flashes between turn of century life struggle in the midwest and late 1930s Hollywood. I‘m not going to rave but i‘m not going to complain either.

historical fiction. read it for what it is. don‘t nit pick. every page reminded me of my trip to florence over 20 years ago.
