comparando com outros clássicos similares a esse (ex.: Peter Pan, que tem uma linguagem mais tranquila e é destinado ao público infantil), a escrita é perfeita! parece ser mais cuidadosa nos detalhes e passa menos por cima dos eventos.
o enredo em si não foi muito uau pra mim; tipo, óbvio que eu gostei!!1!1! eu era obcecada por Mágico de Oz quando eu era mais nova e por nenhum motivo, sério, então >ler o livro foi divertido, porém avaliando o enredo da maneira mais crítica que eu consigo, ele não é la tudo isso -- fora que, embora eu tenha gostado da escrita, ela ainda não agradou 100% meus gostos para narração.
mas de longe, o que eu menos gostei foram os personagens. não porque eles são chatos, na verdade também achei todos bem ok, mas porque eles parecem planos demais. sem forçar, eles tem no máximo um traço de personalidade só, forçando eles tem mais meio. um grupo interessante de amigos, foi divertido ler sobre eles, mas ainda queria mais em relação a esse quesito

Una novela infantil, llena de originales ideas, la mayoría de las cuales ya conocemos hoy en día gracias a la fama de la película. Aún así hay bastantes cosas que solo salen en el libro, y que en mi opinión hace que, en lo relativo a la historia, sea mejor, aunque los méritos de la película son indiscutibles.

I was a contrarian child and decided, for whatever reason, that I didn't like The Wizard of Oz. Had I not, I may have tread an entirely different path where I became obsessed with Oz and Dorothy instead of Wonderland and Alice. Finally reading the book I'm struck at how charming and adorable it is. This is tempered a bit by the quantity of animal death, but otherwise it's a lot more gentle than Carroll's work. Excited to work my way through the rest of these.
Dorothy and her constant companion Toto are caught in a tornado which ruthlessly and savagely ransacks the Kansas Farm where she lives with her Aunt and Uncle. When the storm calms she finds that they have been transported to the magical land of Oz where the Munchkins live, monkeys can fly and Evil Witches rule the kingdom. As soon as she lands there she immediately want to find a way home desperately and finds that she has caught the attention of the Wicked Witch of the West, who is constantly on their trail. Dorothy and Toto make some new friends in the form of the Tin Woodsman, Scarecrow and a cowardly lion and they all embark on a epic adventure along the Yellow Brick Road in search of the Emerald City. Once they get there they hope to meet the legendary ruler the all powerful Wizard of Oz. The only person who holds the power they need to grant all of their wishes.
This is a timeless classic which every child grows up having read to them or reading them selves. I have always held this story close to my heart and will always recommend this to families with children and to adults alike. I remember asking for a copy of this after sitting with my grandmother watching the film and it has been a firm favourite ever since. I love all of the characters and the way that they a developed and always wishing that i had best friends like the people Dorothy has in her life during an unsettling experience. No matter the things that Oz throws at them they band together and always find a solution whether it is to get round a blocked path or finding something for dinner. I love the way that during the story the character show the traits which link to the things that they will be asking of the Wizard. One of the other things i liked about the story was that it builds the Wizard up to being a formidable character and then you find out that he is a fraud who has hoodwinked the whole of Oz into believing that he is more than he is. The way that the story builds on the character of the Wicked Witch makes the reader have some feelings of empathy as it is clear that she only behaves the way she does because she doesn't have the close bonds with people that Dorothy does. This is one of those books which i will always want to read every year at least once and it is one of those books which helps me get out of a reading slump.

Se me quedo la kindle en la oficina y cuando estaba buscando un video juego en mi librero (el orden y yo, a veces, no somos uno mismo uoo-u-o) encontré este libro. Lo compré hace mucho y me había olvidado de su existencia y lo leí.
Cuando era niño veía una caricatura que narraba la historia del libro y nunca vi que terminara, así que fue mi revancha de la niñez jiji.
Está bonito, muy sencillo y de fácil lectura 😊

This is the most beautiful book I think I've ever owned. I want Lorena Alvarez to now illustrate ALL of the classics!
