Book Reviews of The Wizard of Oz (Tor Classics)
Book Review: A "not so" wonderful wizard of Oz
Summary: 3 Stars
The reason I read this book was because of all the high praise I hear about it. Don't get me wrong the book was wonderfully written for a 5 year old. There were some parts I enjoyed but most parts left me bored and wondering when it will end.Most of you have seen the movie, some of you have seen it many many times. What i'm getting at here is that book was actully worse than the movie. The book has a bunch of different and wierd parts that the movie didn't have.After awhile dorothy get annoying when see keeps complaining that see wants to go home and she seems not to care about anyone exept for her dog toto.
To any child or,parent looking for a book for a child, this book is for you. But to the teenagers and adults that don't enjoy children's books, this book isn't for you. It may seem that i've been harsh on the book but there is some good parts too. Its also a classic so it wouldn't hurt to read this book.

Bridget-LA7A
The Wizard of Oz begins in Kansas, a dark and dreary place that seemed to suck away happiness. That happened to Auntie Em because she was a pretty, young wife but the sun and wind took the sparkle from her eyes and the red from her cheeks. When Dorothy came to live with Auntie Em and Uncle Henry, the only thing that kept her from turning somber was her dog Toto. Toto gave her laughter.
When a cyclone came, Dorothy was in the house with Toto and got whisked away. She fell onto her bed and fell asleep. When the house landed with a thump, Dorothy awoke. She opened the door to a beautiful and colorful land. There were Munchkins, the little natives, and the good Witch of the North. They told her that her house had fallen onto the Wicked Witch of the East and killed her.
Because Dorothy wanted to get back to Kansas, she asked if they knew how she could get back. The good Witch of the North told her to go see the Great Wizard of Oz. To get to Oz, you follow the Yellow Brick Path. First the good Witch gave Dorothy a Kiss that protected her from Evil and Dorothy took the Silver Shoes that the Wicked Witch of the East left behind.
On her journey, Dorothy met the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. The Scarecrow wanted a brain because his head was stuffed with straw. The Tin Man wanted a heart because he was in love with a Munchkin girl and she could marry him as soon as he had wood for a house. But the old woman she lived with traded two sheep to the Wicked Witch of the East to prevent the marriage. The Wicked Witch enchanted the ax, so each time he cut, the ax would chop through his body and each time the Tin Man went to a tinsmith that would repair his body... until he was all tin and didn't have a heart. The Cowardly Lion was supposed to be King of the Forest, but was a coward. The Cowardly Lion needed courage to be the true King. So all of them continued on the journey to Oz.
When the group arrived at Oz, the gatekeeper let them in because the Kiss of the good Witch and the Silver Shoes. Then they put on some green spectacles to protect their eyes from the brightness. Each one saw the great Oz, but each saw him differently. Each time he told one to destroy the Wicked Witch of the West.
So Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion set off to find the Witch. As soon as they stepped onto her land, the Wicked Witch sent wolves, crows, bees, and Winged Monkeys after them. Do you think Dorothy destroyed the Witch? You should read The Wizard of Oz to find out. It was a well-written book that was intriguing and had fun characters.
