The book was really good and enjoying would recommend it to anyone.

My family read this wonderful story together. Its hard not to let the movie version into your imagination. However, it was fun nonetheless.

This is a Amazing book.

Best book in the whole wide world

I just loved reading this. I never thought it would be so different. Saw the movie every year as a child. Was a family event. I'm 63 now and still have fond memories of those times. I'm just glad that those memories produced the inclination to read the original.

Wonderful fairytale for ur kids. A must read !!

A lot different from the movie, but still a good book. It's a must read classic!

An amazing book it is!

I really enjoyed reading this book.

Different but I totally liked this version

I love this Book it's really good

Beautifully written book great for people of all ages

It's one of the best book I've ever read

I thought that this book was a great way to show all of the places that they went to on their way to Oz. This was the best version!

The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz is an amazing book. It's well written book about a girl who's swept away to another world full of magic. She meets friends along the way as she tries to get home to her family. I have no complaints about this book, and I recommend it to everyone who loves to read! I'm sure you'll love it!

Great Version of the book almost like the movie !!

THIS BOok is bad

Refreshing classic that tells of more quaint times

It was an exquisite book! I love how it has a lot of good morals...

This book was to long but it was worth it 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

It was a good book with emotion and detail

This book was a good book. I loved it. I have watched the movie. Although the movie and the book are somewhat different. Like the witches shoes. The book was lovely.

Very good book I highly recommend it, I loved it and I don't like to read either so that must say a lot

This book is great not as good as the lord of the rings or the hobbit but it is grat

This book is a good book. The detail it gives the reader to make images in their heads about what is happening. The creativity content that it has takes it to a different level, makes it unique.

I'm was an adventure and was very very very nice

I enjoyed reading this story as much as the movie, which has always been a favorite of mine. It isn't exactly as the movie but is very good just the same.

This is a great book for vocabulary and is a good book for kids age 7 and up. I loved this book tremendously.

I saw the movie in my child hood and decided to read the book it is based on as most books are better that the movie. This book was so bad that I couldn't wait until this dragged out story ended. 0/10 wouldn't read again

I really love this book so I had to read it. I was in the Wizard Of Oz play and was the scarecrow so it was cool to read this book.

I would read it again

Genius story telling at its finest. A novel the remains relevant even today. The only question I have is where is the movie based on the original story? I give credit to the original Judy Garland feature, but by today's standards, this would be one amazing movie!

I am 2/3 the way throught the book (probably not even 3/4) but I can't put it down.

There is absolutely no better simple tale than this one. It appeals to all ages. I can't wait to read it to my grandchildren! It's amazing to see the huge differences between the movie and book. I loved them both and always have!

I've watched the movie version a dozen times and always wanted to know the characters a little better. This book is just what I was looking for. It is a fun and enjoyable read.

This book was almost exactly like the movie but a few details were changed. The part that really caught my attention was when Dorothy and her friends were examining the "Land of Oz". I could just visualize what was going on and felt like I was in the book! If you have never watched the movie I recommend definitely watching it since the book was so great!

Baum has done a fantastic job creating a mesmerizing and beautiful story that everyone knows of. Enlightened my day and could not stop reading. Read this book! Must read!

This is not your Judy Garland movie. More action and magic then the movie! After reading the story the movie is a terrible version and should be rebooted with the true tale of "The Wizard of Oz".

I am in my schools play and I really enjoyed reading this book. The classic definitely helps understand the story much better.

I loved the movie, but had to read this as an assignment, and loved the understanding, and how it wasn't as such a kids version. But a easy read as well. Deffinetly love the book More!😃😄😁😛😝

I felt it was better than all the movies you need to read it. Or else your missing out on something BIG TIME

I remember reading this book when I was young…over and over again! It was a good read, however, I am not sure if this is an abridged version or not. Most of the time, I don’t care for abridged versions of books. I prefer the original. This book didn’t say if it was abridged or not, although I may have missed the notation. This is an excellant children’s book!

While reading several of the other reviews, I thought I would add the reminder that this book was written for children. It has a lot of really creative imagery and symbolism hidden inside its pages. It is, in a way, meant for children’s dreams. It is NOT logical, nor does the characters use an amount of intelligence. I think the beauty of this story lies instead in the simplicity, the creativeness, the innocence of childhood.

This is a perfect stepping-stone for growing readers. Soon, they will be ready for books like the “Dragon Keeper Chronicles” by Donita K. Paul. Those books are fantasy-allegory, and definitely worth the time to peruse several times over. But, really, the “Wizard of Oz” is best described as a masterpiece of a stepping-stone, a guide for young readers that they may realize that all things do not have to be as they seem, that they can defeat evil, and that there is always the land of dreams to explore!

The best book in the world

The movie was good, but the book will always be better!!! The story- Amazing

I know the movie by heart and I want to see if the books the same

This book had me imagining the whole story. It felt like I was right there with the group skipping along

A classic and my favorite..❤️

I don't like it 👎

I loved the book it's proublly the best book I've ever read

I don't care how many times you've seen the movie. You've got to read this book. There is so much more to it than the movie. You will be pleasantly surprised! I guarantee it.

Good book. Nice way to pass the time. Often misunderstood. Love the political allegories.

Just love it. Lovely story. I recommend it!

My class read this for regional literature.

This is a very great book to read for fun, AR, reports ,or to find the detail of the movie one of my favorite books read it if you want love it take it in.

All it is, a 5 star book.

This was so much better than the movie. I am so glad I read this book. It took me away from my hectic life to a land of adventure and endless possibilities!

Of you're a fan of the Wizard of Oz movie, do yourself a favor and read the book. It is a quick read and really enjoyable. There is so much more in the book than the movie. Even if you've seen the movie dozens of times, the book is very entertaining as it is almost completely different.

A book can take you anywhere and back again, technology brings us these wonderful words of a great author. I loved the movie and the book! Dorothy and i love to travel and then be home again, the tin Woodsman and I have crying in common because we love much, the Scarecrow and I have pins and needles to keep us sharp, the Lion and I are brave to live, and Toto and I love to play! There is nothing so grand as a really good book that has no malice, no bad language, sex or violence! A true vacation from the real world!

I had to read the Wizard of Oz as a summer book for school. I thought I had known the story for as long as I could remember, but when I read the book it was much more interesting than the movie. It had many things that were not in the movie. Overall it was a great book that anyone and everyone should read.

I think that this book is great because we once read this book on class and now I can read it wherever I go

The Wizard of Oz is a great classic for anyone to read. I love how it is different than the movie and has a much happier ending. I would recommend this to anyone, who loves a food story.

Happy Reading!

An amazing classic that contains both intriguing adventure and touching friendships. If you enjoy silly stories or fantasies, this book will not disappoint.

This book was very creative. People who like fantasy/adventure books should definitely read this!

My 10 yr old daughter got this book on this iPad and is busy now but wants me to write a review she wrote for me to type: I have seen the movie and loved it and now that I have read the book I have also began to love it. The book is very different from the movie but it will make you read it nonstop. I skipped dinner because I wanted to continue reading. I love the different adventures they go on in the book that's not in the movie. I will get the books that follow it soon!!

Me:I am going to get the book on my iPad because my daughter will be busy reading the next ones on hers. Get it!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Amazing book

Wow! its so different from the movie. But a good book😄enjoyed it

Better then the one on tv .

One of the best books I've ever read

This book is great. Love it. It is the exact The Wizard of Oz book I had been looking for on iBooks. And it's free too! I strongly recommend this book to you. It is a really, really wonderful story.

Not too bad! Definitely have preconceptions from the movie. The movie was just way better laid out.

This is an amazing book for children and adults as well. This is a great story of a girl from Kansas who gets whisked away by a cyclone and the wonderful adventures that follow are too exciting for words. This book will engage readers of all ages.

the wonderful classic that always takes my heart away!!! 💘

this book rocks!!!

Is a very good book, love Baum

Great story telling

Fabulous book.it is the original. Get it. I love it sooooo much! It is free!

Great

Was a very interesting take, after watching the movie multiple times, to read the original. Some parts were expected, some surprises too!! I cannot wait to read the other 14 books in the series.

This book was way better than the movie. The Tin man is a beast. Read the book to know what I mean.

Throw out what you remember about the movie. Some of the elements are the same, but this is a better and longer adventure.

A wonderful classic for all ages

that book changed my life! i've seen the movie, it wasn't very good, but the book was great! you HAVE to get this book! the best part is-it's FREE!

It is amazing the liberties the people behind the movie took with this story. Still, the book is just as good as the movie, if slightly jumbled...

So the facade of the wizard was great and powerful. It makes me wonder what else in my daily life is just a well constructed fake facade...

Having seen the classic 1939 movie many times I decided to download this as my first ebook. What a rich story! So much better than the movie and really a different story than what was imagined in the movie. I did of course picture the classic characters in my mind's eye but cannot but wonder how the movie would have looked had it followed the book more closely.

Well with the read!

In the book, and in the movie there are differences. The plot is the same but there are just little details. A vary good book.

Most excellent read. This book makes me wish they had made the movie more closely to the original movie or that someone had picked up this and finally made a more closely tied movie. Perhaps someday. I very much look forward to reading the rest of the books.

Love the movie but the book beats it hands down.

It was way better than the movie. It told more and I understood more! I loved it!!!

This is now my favorite book. I'd recommend it to anyone. It had a nice plot and a unexpected twist in the middle.

Never read before but got read it with my 6 year old. fun times. Favorite parts include:

Winged monkeys carried them over hammer-heads hill.

When Dorothy met Glinda.

I just got done reading this to my 6 year old son. He had seen the classic movie and was more scared of the sepia toned cyclone scene than of any thing else. In the book he was anxiously scared of the wicked witch of the west that to get past that part I substituted his favorite female cartoon character. So, the Minnie Mouse of the West was born. I never realized how many omissions from the movie were approved. The book has so much mor going for it then the movie it is a must read for any parents with children.

This book is pretty good. I wanted to read it because I am in our school play, The Wizard of Oz. The movie is fantastic, but VERY DIFFERENT. This is probably one time where I would say the movie is better than the book, but the book I'd definitely worth reading. I enjoyed reading it! (in 4 hours! Lol)

This book is... I don't know because I have only seen the movie before and I don't know so that is why downloaded it so I could find out how good it is. And I will keep you up dated.!!!!!!

Must read item. 느무 재밌어요

This suspenseful

novel is filled with adventure and excitement I love this novel and highly recommend it

The greatest book ever! Better than any other book ever! Even though it's different from the movie, it's amazing! I will read it over and over again. This long journey of Oz is the most exciting.

This is one of three Baum books you must read.
