Summary: The Movie Turned Out Better Than The Book
Review: 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.

Summary: Oz
Review: I think this book is wonderful. It helps to free your imagination, and experience adventures beyond your boring humdrum life. I would say that the book is not like the movie from many aspects. It has more adventures and yes a little more gore. But you can't expect it to be like the movie because it was writtem first and the movie producers decided to make The Wizard Of Oz a sort of Happy Go Lucky musical. The book is really wonderful and you can probably only appreciate it if you forget about the movie and just read it. Don't compare it to the movie. Just enjoy it.

Summary: The Wizard of Oz
Review: I thought that the Wizard of Oz was a totlly awsome book.very interesting. I was very surprised that it had alot of deaath and other things like that in it. But, the book was nothing like the movie. The mmmovie talks about Toto the dog getting lost, but in the book Toto stays with Dorthy the whole time. My favorite paart inthe Wizard of Oz book, was when the characters go talk to the Wizard one by one and the Wizaaard was always a different thing every time. Dorthy asked the Wizard to go back to Kasas and he said to her that she had toget ride of the Wicked Witch of the East. Then the lion goes in and he has to hellp and then the rest of the things go in and they all have to help them all had to help Dorthy. They had to do alot but they finlly all go back and say that they wanted what they asked for and he helped them all. But to find out if Dorthy goes back to Kansas, read thhis book. the only thing that iI didn't like about this book was that they shouldn't have put the lion in it. A lot of aadults and kids should read thhis book, they would love it like I did. So that is why I think you guys should read the wizard of Oz. THE END

Summary: The World of Oz
Review: Someone who would like this is a person who likes fantasy and adventure. I would recomend this book to a middle school student or above. My opinion about this book is that I liked it, it kept me reading because of all the action. I also liked this book because it was easy to read. It was better than the movie, like when the Tin Man kept cutting off all the animals' heads. One thing I didn't like about this book is that it was different than the movie. When I was reading the book the movie came on T.V and I watch the movie and it cunfused me a little. If you haven't read the book yet, you should because it is a very good book and if you want to read the REAL story, read THE WIZARD of OZ.

Summary: WIZARD
Review: I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISES TO SEE HOW GORY AND DETAILED THIS BOOK WAS. I DID NOT EXPECT IT TO TALK ABOUT DEATH AND OTHER THINGS. OTHER THAN THAT, I LOVED THE BOOK AND THOUGHT IT WENT ALONG WITH THE MOVIE FOR THE MOST PART.

Summary: "Books Of Wonder" versions are the best!
Review: You have NOT read the Wizard Of Oz until you've read the "Books Of Wonder" edition! All of the illustrations are here, in their creative two-color design as they were intended to be. Since this work is public domain, other publishers have butchered Wizard by editing the text and excluding many of the wonderful pictures, and printing the rest in black and white. This edition is just like it was originally presented in 1900, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate the centinial of Oz than to buy yourself this facimile edition!

Summary: More fun than a barrel of flying monkeys!
Review: It took me 29 years to finally make it to Oz, and I can't wait to go back again!Of course, I'd seen the movie many times. However, the book (which to movie followed closely, for the most part) was a treat to read. The characters grow on you and the illustrations -- even in the mass market paperback which I read -- are delightful. If you're getting through life only seeing the movie and singing the songs, pick up the book sometime! I want to live in Oz!
