Summary: A Great Book
Comment: This story all started when a farm girl from Kansas named Dorothy Gale, and her little dog Toto got sucked into a tornado and landed in a fairyland named Oz. In Oz she meets a bunch of strange characters, a scarecrow, tin woodsman, and a cowardly lion. Together they go on a mission to see the wizard of oz by following the yellow brick road. Each one wanting a different wish. On the way to the wizard they come across multiple things. And when they finally got to Emerald city the wizard told them that they must first kill the wicked witch of the west if they want him to make there wishes come true. Eventually they succeed in doing that along with multiple hard things to do. After all that they find out that the wizard is a "humbug" and he grants everyone's wishes. Except for Dorothy's wich is for her to return back home. So now Dorothy and her friends go on another adventure to find the Good Witch of the South. Well they found her and Dorothy got back home along with her dog Toto, and she had what she needed all along in order for her to return home. Personally in my opinion I enjoyed the book better then the movie. I would recommend this book to anyone with a good imagination, because I kept imagining the story as I read it. The book has some drawings in it wich makes imagining things a lot easier, it has drawings of the main characters, villains, and some of the scenes in the book such as there journey on the yellow brick road. I would also recommend this book to anyone if the ages of 10 and up.

Summary: A Great Book
Comment: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a classical story about a girl and her dog that get trapped in a twister. She wakes up in a magical land and asks how she can get home. They tell her she has to follow the yellow brick road. She meets people on her way to the Wizard. The Scarecrow needs brains, the Tinman needs a heart, the Lion needs courage and Dorothy needs to go home. They meet strange things on the way to The Good Witch of the South. I like the book because it's interesting and exciting and that's why I think you should read it.

Summary: Please stop the senseless violence!!!
Comment: This fictional work of fantasy could have been appropriately titled "In Cold Blood". Lead character Dorothy, an apparent megalomaniac, and her 'gangsta' cohorts -- scarecrow, tin man, toto, and not-so-cowardly lion -- set out in a deliberate and premeditated scheme to kill the "wicked" [alleged] witch of the West (after Dorothy has already admittedly dropped her house on West's sister -- the wicked [alleged] witch of the East, killing her off, stealing her silver shoes, and then killing anything or anybody who gets in their way [sic] -- including the great Kaliddalah beasts and wildcats ...). The senseless violence continues as Dorothy and her "thug" sidekicks are ordered by the Emerald City "Chief" Wizard to perform a "hit" on the wicked [alleged] witch of the West [sic] in exchange for favors from the great and powerful Wizard ... Do today's parents actually condone such random and God-forsaken acts of violence? Do we really need so many senseless killings in children's literature? (Is this book actually endorsed by the Catholic Church to be read by children attending Catolic schools?) Isn't it time we remove this endorsement of randomized violence from our children's schools and libraries? Thank goodness there are some sensible alternatives currently offered in today's world of children's literature. Take the books recently penned and published worldwide by Madonna Ritchie ... The English Roses and Mr. Peabodie's Apples (not to mention soon to be published Yakov and the Seven Thieves [October 2004] and Das Lotsa ****load of Cash [whenever, 2004]). On a scale of 1 to 10, I collectively give Madonna's children's books (with the exception of 1992's Sex ...) seventeen stars, six apples, 4 oranges, 3 bananas, two plums, a blackberry, and a half a cherry ... [you do the math ...] Madonna's red-hot right now ... and you don't need a full page ad in the Wall Street Journal (or half a brain) to figure that out ...
