I got really irritated when the other members of the party would pick on the Woggle-Bug, because pretty much everything he said sounded like something I might say.
The Marvelous Land of Oz, in all its whimsical weirdness, has always defined the Oz series for me far better than the first book. For that reason, it's always been my favorite and no matter how many times I've read it, returning to this book is like visiting old friends -- old friends who still accept you after all these years and still really, really hate puns.

the stories that Baum achieves in the Oz series is nothing short of magical and spectacular, my only problem is that I find the writing style a little tedious, it also doesn't enrapture me enough and I don't feel like I do when I read other books by great authors who leave me wanting to keep reading and reading. whether this is due to the fact they're written many years ago when language and literature was different i'm not sure, but I believe it could be why I find it hard to keep with the books. which is a shame seeing as the stories are just so beautiful and well imagined.
This is really interesting to read as an adult. It's so close to being a feminist and trans narrative, but it doesn't quiiiiiite get there, at least on the feminism front. General Jinjur was right, and the men of oz should do better.
