I loved this book! It’s like the movie but beefed up a lot, much more detail。 Might be a little violent for some kids。 I loved the China country! :) I keep picturing a Tim Burton remake of the original, and including more of the real story! :) I had lots of reading time apparently over the last couple days, I finished so quick! Back in those days everyone had probably read the book before the movie, and now, most have probably seen the movie first, I could t help picturing characters from the mo I loved this book!

Menemukan lagi novel dengan bahasa Inggris yang menurut aku mudah dipahami dan ceritanya juga cocok buat yang lagi mau belajar bahasa Inggris, mengingat ini termasuk ke kategori novel klasik。 Menurutku untuk ukuran novel klasik ini bahasanya enak banget。Bercerita tentang seorang anak perempuan bernama Dorothy yang karena suatu hal membuatnya terjebak dalam Land of Oz dan dia pun berusaha mencari jalan pulang, hingga salah satu makhluk di sana menghimbaunya untuk pergi ke City of Emerald。 Di teng Menemukan lagi novel dengan bahasa Inggris yang menurut aku mudah dipahami dan ceritanya juga cocok buat yang lagi mau belajar bahasa Inggris, mengingat ini termasuk ke kategori novel klasik。 Menurutku untuk ukuran novel klasik ini bahasanya enak banget。Bercerita tentang seorang anak perempuan bernama Dorothy yang karena suatu hal membuatnya terjebak dalam Land of Oz dan dia pun berusaha mencari jalan pulang, hingga salah satu makhluk di sana menghimbaunya untuk pergi ke City of Emerald。 Di tengah perjalanannya dia bertemu beberapa makhluk-makhluk lain yang akhirnya menjadi rekan-rekan seperjalanannya dan membangun kerjasama yang apik。Kurasa cerita ini juga cocok buat anak-anak karena memasukkan unsur persahabatan yang dibalut dengan fantasi。 Ide ceritanya tuh bisa kubilang ringan gitu loh, yang meskipun fantasi, bukan dengan pembahasan yang berat。 Penyelesaian konfliknya juga cukup to the point, meskipun di beberapa bagian menurutku juga agak sedikit janggal。Endingnya menurut aku juga tidak dibuat berbelit-belit。 Jumlah halamannya juga nggak terlalu banyak jadi nggak merasa terbebani。 。。。more

I loved this so much! This is my favorite movie, and now seeing the source material, I can see why I love it even more!

Quite enjoyable。 I wonder how does one come up with such storylines。

Het is duidelijk een kinderboek。 Maar wel een goed geschreven kinderboek。 De gekke personages creëren een mooie sfeer met veel ironie。 Het is dan weliswaar een simpel boek, maar dat maakt het wel leuk。 En het mooiste is dat het allemaal zo nutteloos is。 Het is duidelijk een gevalletje: het gaat niet om het einddoel, maar om de vrienden die je onderweg hebt gemaakt。 Ik zou het opnieuw lezen。

HeartwarmingThis was my first time reading this book, and I loved it! Fairytales may be intended for children, but I think it’s important that adults enjoy them too every once in a while。 You can’t just be reading self-help, true-crime or non-fiction books the whole time, your brain needs a break!I enjoyed the different characters a lot, and felt that although they each received a gift from Oz, it wasn’t entirely necessary because the Scarecrow was already coming up with smart plans, the Tin Woo HeartwarmingThis was my first time reading this book, and I loved it!

I didn’t really like this book when I read it as a teenager, but I actually quite enjoyed it this time around。 I still like the movie better, though。

I'm not sure I'd ever read this book before, but it was fun! There are a few things that I loved about the book that weren't in the movie (green glasses they wear in Oz, the backstory of the flying monkeys)。 There were also several plot lines that seemed superfluous (the weird bobble head guys?)。 Glad I read it and might try more in the series。 I'm not sure I'd ever read this book before, but it was fun!

We all know the story by now。 Dorothy is swept away by a tornado to the magical land of Oz, away from her aunt and uncle with her dog, Toto。 Meeting some weird and wonderful friends along the way, Dorothy must find her way back home with the assistance of the powerful wizard who resides in the Emerald City。A beautiful tale of magic and friendship, this is a children's classic still enjoyed by both children and adults。 I thoroughly enjoyed it。 We all know the story by now。 Dorothy is swept away by a tornado to the magical land of Oz, away from her aunt and uncle with her dog, Toto。 Meeting some weird and wonderful friends along the way, Dorothy must find her way back home with the assistance of the powerful wizard who resides in the Emerald City。A beautiful tale of magic and friendship, this is a children's classic still enjoyed by both children and adults。 I thoroughly enjoyed it。 。。。more

A classic

epiccoolgirl101

characters actually have personalities and drive to reach their goals。

After reading Finding Dorothy and learning how Mrs Baum was upset with all the changes from the book - I had to see what those changes were。 Holy cow, there were a lot of changes! Obviously there was no singing in the book, but there were so many extra stories, quests, and characters omitted in the movie。 I actually think the movie was better。

Gretchen

A wonderful story!

Emir Mertoglu

Kitap bir çırpıda okunuyor dilinin sadeliğinden ve güzel çevirisinden dolayı ama bana çok çocuksu geldi。 Bunun dışında kitaptaki ana fikirleri kolayca yakalıyorsunuz hikayeden kendinize ders çıkarıyorsunuz。

A wonderful classic story that engaged my five-year-old as well as any book has。 Plus we were able to watch the movie afterwards and discuss same/different scenes。 It also inspired our Halloween costumes this year! :) What a joy!
