5.0 out of 5 stars A book for all ages, 9 Mar 2003
By Cecilia S. Idiart (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews
This classic among children's books tells the story of how Dorothy and her dog Toto find their way back to Kansas from a distant, unknown land. It is truly delightful from beginning to end and will surely be loved and enjoyed by readers of all ages, not just children. The story is told in a simple, yet beautiful way and will grip the reader to the last page with Dorothy and Toto's wild adventures. From the sad story of the Winged Monkeys to the walk across the "Dainty China Country", it is a good start for any young bookworm and a charming read for any adult.

Cecilia (aged 13)

4.0 out of 5 stars Complex fantasy- perhaps more appreciated by adults, 21 Nov 2002
By "lexi_wades" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
If you are like me and saw the film a hundred times before reading the book then The Wizard of Oz probally conjures up images of singing munchkins and technicolored campness where even the wicked witch of the west isn't all that scary. The book is completely different- if not for its lack of "colour" then its more meandering plot. The main elements of the book were kept for the film- ie dorothy's quest home, her three friends, munchkins, emerald city etc. However, if the book is interpretated as an allegory or certain themes meant to represent those in Baum's contempory world there a certain key elements missed out in the film which exist in the book. The emerald city in the book looks green because everyone in it has to wear green glasses whilst it is just the same colour as any normal city. There is a sense here of people seeing things they are told to see which complements the dream-like surrealness of the story.
Those who like the film's possible meanings should read the book as it seems more complex and ambigious. However, if it is just the spectacle of the film you enjoy the book can seem rather grey and disjointed

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for adults and kids!, 4 Mar 2003
By Paul Munro "hndpaul" (Northants) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
There are great life lessons in this book for adults and children. I like to see the search for courage and a heart etc as a lesson in not looking outside for these things, but remembering instead that they can be found inside us all. We all have hearts, courage and brains etc to use. Slipping to a more child like level ;-), the kids loved this book. The characters are great and clean, and the book is written in an easy style that will captivate them for quite a while. At this price, you can't really grumble either!
