Not really clear what’s going on here. Is the idea that, instead of the slippers taking Dorothy home, they brought her house to her? Or is it that wearing ruby slippers statistically increases the odds of a tornado-borne house landing on you?
As for movie versus book, both are wonderful, but there are a ton of differences between the two, not the least of which is that the events of the book were not a dream. For a different take on the whole Oz business, see Philip Jose Farmer’s novel, A Barnstormer in Oz.

This ending works! After all it was established early on in the film, that wearing those slippers was dangerous for that very reason.

’The Day of the Jackal" seemed pretty true to the book.
