3.0

I read this book (and the entire series) multiple times in middle and high school, but haven't read it since. And then I saw that some one was going to serialize it into chapters and I just had to reread it! It was very good, holding up remarkably well for something writing in 1900.

“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.
