I think I'm at like book 8...but I love them! They are really an interesting, amusing series. It's nice to see what popular opinion and Baum's thoughts about different aspects of human nature were. If you care enough to look into what is being discussed, it's a deep series that really gets you thinking in addition to having an interesting and heartwarming plot.Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-40318610475527342152013-09-06T07:30:51.871-06:002013-09-06T07:30:51.871-06:00I am excited.

Hard to imagine it as anything else. So then when you say the Wicked Witch only has one eye my mind is blown! Maybe I'll have to read it someday! (Especially since I watched that Great and Powerful Oz movie. Bleh.

I liked the background for the flying monkeys, and the ending irked me, where they don't find out that they had the qualities they were looking for along. We must not be the only ones who felt this way, since they changed that for the movie.<br /><br />I don't really remember anything about the sequels, apart from vaguely remembering random other characters, so I look forward to picking up those again at some point. :)<br /><br />This was my review for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz:<br /><br />http://herebebookwyrms.blogspot.com/2012/06/wonderful-wizard-of-oz.htmlColleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11278777652083135412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-89547097997960030522013-09-01T20:38:26.460-06:002013-09-01T20:38:26.460-06:00Exciting.

I believe I read The Wizard of Oz, but it was such a long time ago that I could do with a reread. And also read the sequels to read about some of the awesome characters that come later. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I agree with you on some things about the film adaptation - it's so cool to go from B&W to color, and it's funny they went the whole dream route in the film. I do like the red shoes though but my favorite color is red so I am biased. :) <br /><br />Great post, and I love those illustrations!The HoneyNerdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14871290381116725861noreply@blogger.com
