The Wizard of Oz is a story that lends itself surprisingly well to retellings as authors make different characters central or create different settings for the tale. Madson's take is a far cry from the original. There are certainly parallels in the characters but the main thrust of the story is vastly different. Tin Man presents us with a far more meandering, introspective story. It's a reflection on what it means to be alive, what drives us forward even after loss or when barriers seem insurmountable. It really tells it's own story, though, and could be appreciated even if you weren't familiar with the original story.
