by L. Frank Baum
I listened to the Librivox audio edition, read by Phil Chenevert. Violent vegetable people, a talking horse, invisible bears, dragonettes and a talking kitten named Eureka. Just a few of the wonderfully strange things this book has to offer. I didn't like it as much as the previous book in the serie...
Please note that this book will spoil events from books one through three. So if you haven't read those books, skip over this review. My general feeling once I finished this book was eh. I feel bad for saying this, but the charm of the first two Oz books has worn off of me. I had issues with book t...
I love the Books of Wonder editions. I have a first edition of this one, 1990.
And here we have the evidence that L. Frank Baum finally let the little bastards get to him. He would give them exactly what they wanted. What a shame they didn't notice he was mocking them.

Maybe it was because I expected something for an older reader but I wasn't impressed with this book. In addition I did not realize they this was the fourth book in the series and did not actually know what was going on.

#4 of the obsession ... um ... I mean series :) - After leaving Australia, Dorothy and her uncle stop by California to see her cousin Zeb and his family. While out one day in Zeb's horse and trailer, the four of them (Zeb, the horse, Dorothy and he cat) are swallowed up by an earthquake. While dow...
In this fourth installment Dorothy and her cousin Zeb fall through an earthquake to the center of the earth (it's fantasy people!) They meet up with the Wizard from the first book. Solid addition to the series.
So apparently there isn't just one or two fairy countries in the world, but lots of them! I never liked the Wizard much and the plot in this book is practically non-existant. Still, L. Frank Baum does have a way with words, so I didn't really notice the lack of plot until afterwards.
