Calculo Review

You probably read this book when you were a bit younger, but I now ask you to read it from a different and a more mature point of view.

Yes, a magnificent story with Dorothy and Toto the black dog, and some other characters from the land of Oz! Yet, what did the land of Oz really do to Dorothy? The answer's very simple: It made her understand that one's characteristics are given to him/her from the people surrounding them.

A scarecrow, a woodman made of tin, and a lion, join Dorothy in search for the Wizard of Oz, each requesting the same gift, without actually knowing it. Yet they gain it, unnoticedly, through their journey, with the help of one another. Truly an example of the saying, it's not so much the destination, as the journey itself that matters.

Intrigued? Go read the book!
