Unashamedly inspired by THE WIZARD OF OZ, MR WIZARDO is not simply a rewrite of the earlier novel. Anything else but. Eva Pasco’s MR. WIZARDO is completely original. It eliminates the fantasy element, weaving together the lives of the major characters in completely plausible ways. All the major characters are there, but all are human. The protagonists, while flawed, are likeable, and the ways they deal with their flaws is at the center of the story. The many subtle and not so subtle references to THE WIZARD OF OZ are handled beautifully. The carefully crafted, realistic characters have believable problems, problems Mr. Wizardo’s counseling helps them solve. Saying almost anything else about MR. WIZARDO would result in some level of spoiler. It is a quick, easy, and extremely enjoyable read.
