Più andiamo avanti e più la serie dei libri di Oz mi sembra l'universo cinematografico Marvel: è affidabile, sai che in ogni episodio ci trovi più o meno la stessa roba, lo stesso genere di idee e sorprese, questo e quel personaggio che torna a salutare. In La strada per Oz, come al solito, ci sono almeno due o tre momenti completamente fuori di testa che valgono il prezzo del biglietto e in più torna a farsi vedere l'unico personaggio che si poteva lecitamente pensare fosse effettivamente morto. Volemose bene, avanti così.

Oz is always fun to visit and silly too. In this one I just wish the journey was a hair shorter and the festivities at the end were more detailed.

My Plan was to read the entire OZ series. I will stop at book 5. Every book is a Lather-Rinse-Repeat. Dorothy gets to a magical land (not always OZ) has to find a way home, usually by finding OZ again, with strange characters that may or may not show their faces in the next book.
Not really my flavor.
Not really my flavor.
I really need to stop expecting these to have a plot, rather than a series of adventures culminating in someone going home again, but this one seemed even slighter than usual and I'm afraid just didn't do it for me. I didn't connect to the new characters (though delighted a little when old friends showed up), and nothing really happened. At least there were cannibals. (Well, I suppose they weren't technically cannibals. People-eaters, then.)
Better than the books three to four. Book one was more for nostalgia of my youth since I read it when I was young for a school report and watched the Wizard of Oz films many times. The fifth book was a bit better than the last due to more of a joyous ending. The Oz scene at the end seemed all colourful and happy. Or at least in my head visualizing the whole book, it was colourful, had interactions and a bit more fun. And to see fairies from rainbows as well as that of Santa Claus. Yet, as usual, there feels like something is missing. I know this is a book for the ages of 8 to 10. Yet, there is something missing that I can't put my foot on. It's a little bit lacking in action or something.
