Much more beheading than the films, but overall very good. The adventures were simply told, but still held a lot of excitement. There were some times I literally laughed out loud. My favorite running joke (whether it was intentional or not) was how characters kept saying goodbye so flippantly as if they hadn’t just been or weren’t currently in life-threatening situations.
I listened to this in one sitting while I did my hair and I was never bored, nor did I ever zone out (which happens a lot with me and audiobooks if I’m not interested).
Titus Burgess’s narration was fantastic. So much emotion and the characters felt distinct from one another not just because of the different voices he put on for each, but their individual personalities came through in his performance.

This book was so much fun! The Wizard of OZ is one of those books that, even if you never read it, you know what it is about. Everybody has heard about little Dorothy, the Wizard or the Witches. But reading this books is an experience on its own.
I really liked this story: it's all about friendship and a sense of union... when we work together we make (almost) impossible things, possible.
I feel that this is one of those books that you take different interpretations according to when (in your life) you are reading it.

“There is no place like home.”
Inspired by the works of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, the Oz series tell the stories of Dorothy, a girl from Kansas, in the World of Oz. These stories were clearly inspired by the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm and Andersen, however, there is a twist to these stories that have a certain American feel (the contrast between the World Oz and Kansas is an excellent example of this).
The stories of the Oz universe are clearly a story for children, however, I would say that adults would also like these stories. They are complete stories (with a beginning, middle, and end), full of wonderment, and well-developed characters.
I really liked these stories and fully recommend them.
