Story5 out of 5 stars 2,449
For Milo, everything’s a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he’s got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason. Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it’s exciting beyond his wildest dreams.

I remember watching g the animation as a kid but never knew the name of it or how to find it. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to listen to the actual story.

Very interesting take

It was very different than what I expected, but it was pleasing. I enjoyed the story and the alternate perspective of Moriarty. It was a great story.

Entertaining overall
Reviewed: 03-07-23
Excellent cast, extreme talent. As for the story, I enjoyed the journey. I know it’s not 100% accurate or factual, but it’s a fictional story so it doesn’t have to be. I loved the use of characters and how they were each diverse in their own way, story and struggle. I felt the setup of characters was good. Showing that even though they were all highly skilled and intelligent people, that they could be capable of divine intervention just like anyone. So it doesn’t make it a battle against elitist or impoverished. Well excecuted

Heralded as an instant classic of fantasy literature, Maguire has written a wonderfully imaginative retelling of The Wizard of Oz told from the Wicked Witch's point of view. More than just a fairy tale for adults, Wicked is a meditation on the nature of good and evil.

Very Interesting take

It was a very different take on the story of the Wizard of Oz. I think it all boils down to perspective at the end of the day and it was an amazing story overall. Great work

Let me start by saying I love the Lady Hardcastle mystery book.
This story somewhat lacked in comparison to the others. It was somewhat weak in the mystery portion but it was still a nice ride. I liked the book just not as much as the others.

The story kept me interested until the end. Very refreshing story though lacking a bit of complexity, but certainly entertaining and kept you guessing until the end.
