Like many people my age, I actually remember when The Wizard of Oz movie being shown on network television every year was an event. I mean, we didn’t have VCRs (Let alone Netflix) back in the dark ages, so if you wanted to get a glimpse of Oz, you had to plan your social schedule around being at hom...
I listened to the Librivox audio version, read by Phil Chenevert.Before I discovered Goodreads, I didn't even know there was a whole Oz-series. Now that I do, it gives me plenty of (audio) material to use before falling asleep. This second book in the series is technically a sequel to [b:The Wonderf...
Don't read further if you haven't read to the end of book #1 since this review will spoil you about the events that took place in book #1. This book was awesome. I have to say that after book #1 I was puzzled what this book would be about and if I would like it as much as book #1 without Dorothy or ...
I think I enjoyed The Marvelous Land of Oz more than I did the original. It managed to keep the same tone as the first book, but made everything bigger.My biggest complaint with this book were the puns...oh lord, the puns.At least I wasn't alone in being annoyed at the puns, though. Pretty much ever...
This second book in the Oz series was enchanting and I wish I had read the stories to my children when they were younger. It also had a few laugh out loud moments for me, with regards to how girls were portrayed, though I'm not sure this was meant to be funny in 1904. Favourite passage In which tho...
This was really cute and made me remember how clever Baum's imagination is. This would be stories I would read to my kids at night (if I had kids). Can't wait to see what else the series brings.
Before I discovered that there was a girl named Dorothy with a dog called Toto I discovered the land of Oz. I never understood as a child the rules of series. That you 'had' to read the previous books before reading the second or third books. This was due to my age at the time (things seem rather mu...
Never having read any of the Wizard of Oz books, I have to say I was surprised by how humorous this book was. I won't go so far as to say it was laugh out loud funny, but it had lots and lots of puns and humorous lines. That in itself made my kids and I enjoy reading the book together, but as for ...
This is book 2 in the series - and I vaguely remember watching an animated/computer animated movie when I was younger about this book - I can almost see the Pumpkinhead walking around. This story is about a boy named Tip, who escapes from the witch that is his guardian (Mombi) with a wooden man wit...
