I haven't read a complete English book except the reading materials for exams. After listened this story, I'd like to find the book to read, cause some details still need to be explored.

Dorothy, Straw man, Tin man, and coward lion. What they need, just like what I lack of. Courage, heart, brain, and go home. Sometimes, I think the fairy tales contain the most important parts of people's quality. It's cute and obvious, so all I need to do is just do it.

For the first time, I wrote sooooo many words, not for exam writing, but to express myself consciously. I like this way, and I like audible.

By the way, I love audio books, but I haven't finished one before. I just played the tape, and went to sleep. As an English learner, I found it's difficult to understand via school teaching. So I choose to listen to podcasts, plus audible books. One day before not long, I just realized I can understand what they said. Oh, wonderful. Thanks Audible!!!

Wonderful story, beautiful performance.
