Assumptions of Reading

Coming into the OZ book at this point, I was more or less expecting the events of the story to be similar to the film, and for the most part they were. Having grown up with film I guess I was hoping to find the book staying true to it, since the film is all I knew of the story. I generally do not make assumptions about books or movies when approaching them, though. I like to take things as they are and appreciate what is being presented. Obviously any assumptions made on my part will simply be from outside influences such as previews and/or reviews, commercials, word of mouth, etc. Generally I like to experience these things with an open mind.
