Book Reviews of The Wizard of Oz

Book Review: Great for ALL ages
Summary: 5 Stars

This book was first read to me at age 3. The book was so wonderful that it encouraged me to learn to read at an early age ao that I wouldn't have to stop reading when my parents stopped. This editions illustrations are wonderful and really fit the book well. This book definitely deserves a 5 star rating!

Book Review: Important reading for readers of all ages
Summary: 5 Stars

A nightmarish cautionary tale of agrarian revolution--complete with a hideous tin ro-bot!

Book Review: One of the Best!
Summary: 5 Stars

I borrowed this book from a library one time and I loved it! It was really fun to read and it was different from the movie in parts. They go to different lands like China Town where the whole land is made of China! I would highly recommend borrowing or even buying this book! All ages and genders would love it!

Book Review: Pictures that make you say, "yes, that was just how it was"
Summary: 5 Stars

THIS REVIEW HAS BEEN MISPLACED. IT IS INTENDED FOR THE EDITION OF "THE WIZARD OF OZ" ILLUSTRATED BY MICHAEL HAGUE.

I received this book as a particularly thoughtful gift on my tenth birthday nearly twenty years ago, and it continues as one of my all-time favorites to this day. Michael Hague's charming, earthy, watercolor illustrations lend a bit of folksy magic to this classic tale that all but transport a person to Oz itself. I keep the book in my children's library, but my confession is that sometimes, on particularly drizzly days, I indulge myself in a satisfying re-enjoyment of this book, all by myself.


Book Review: The Movie Turned Out Better Than The Book
Summary: 2 Stars

The book is too fantastic and unrealistic. It is hard to follow and it is difficult to imagine some of the things that the author writes about. For example, putting bran in the scarecrow's head and saying that he has "bran-new brains." I am glad that the screenwriters for the movie were able to preserve the basic story line and produce a much better product.
