The Road To Oz Customer Reviews
:- 5.0 out of 5 stars from dominic m. -- Another must have for Oz fans. : L. Frank Baum's original 14 Oz books are incredible stories. It's not all yellow brick roads and silver slippers! Far from it! Baum's writing is at times extremely dark and always witty. I do not recommend Rinkitink in Oz as it is not canon and a departure from the overall storyline. I do, however, recommend The Sea Fairies by Baum, even with its delirious plot holes and the fact that it doesn't take place in Oz, it's still a fun underwater ride.

- 3.0 out of 5 stars from ScrawnyPunk -- A bit boring compared to the other ones : This volume is a bit boring compared to the other volumes. No central struggle or triumph, just a series of minor adventures capped by a big birthday party. There are some decent lessons for children along the way, chiefly the perspective of beauty (in the eye of the beholder, of course), and a slightly more subtle example of love versus truth (one of the characters is 'truly' loved at the end, but only after he tells the truth and abandons the 'false' love of his charm).

- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Lee Edward Fodi -- A rainbow of characters : L. Frank Baum returns to Oz with a splash in this book, inviting Oz fans to the royal birthday party of Ozma and treating them to a "who's who" in the world of faerie--why even old Santa Claus makes an appearance! As a child, I was just pleased to have Toto back in Oz (his first return since "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz"), and one of my favorite illustrations in the whole book shows the little black fellow getting a friendly pat on the head from the Cowardly Lion as the two old friends reunite. There are some new characters in this book of course, including the delightful trio of Button Bright, Polychrome, and the Shaggy Man. I'm inclined to think that these were three of Baum's favorites, for while he often created characters that never made significant appearances in later books (Eureka the kitten, Billina the hen, Woot the Wanderer, etc), these three all played leading roles in future Oz installments. Character is definitely the focus in this book, and like much of Baum's work, "The Road to Oz" does not have a definite plot. Still, for any fan of Oz, it provides such wonderful escape that this party is one that you won't want to miss. The illustrations in "The Road to Oz" demonstrate the talents of John R. Neill at their peek, and this edition of the book is printed on colored pages to mirror the rainbow shades of the Land of Oz--at first this ploy seems a bit distracting, but by the end of the book one realizes that Oz is just that colorful.

- 2.0 out of 5 stars from Blake Petit -- The fifth Oz book... by no means the best : "The Road to Oz" is the fifth book in what is perhaps the greatest fantasy series of all time.. however, it's not really a book I'd recommend to show people how wonderful the series really is. At this point it seems that Baum was getting a little weary, and it shows, as this book has almost no discernable plot or conflict at all. Dorothy, again, gets lost in a fairyland, and again makes her way to the Emerald City, assembling a small band of strange and endearing characters along the way -- the same as she'd done three times before. What made this a weak entry is that there was no sense of urgency here. Dorothy was never worried, she knew as soon as she found Ozma she'd have a way home, there was no villain... by the time she made it to the Emerald City the book had been liberally dotted with references to how everyone in Oz loved one another and nobody was ever mean -- unless, of course, you're a wicked witch, but they had both long been vanquished at this point.

- 2.0 out of 5 stars from Holly V. Reese -- Very disappointing. : I have one of the Books of Wonder hardcover editions of this work that reproduces the original. In that edition, the formatting of the first edition is restored, and it contains John Neill's wonderful illustrations, both color and ink drawings; and these illustrations are reproduced well--very clear. It also was faithful to a gimmick used in the original editions; a different colored paper used for each chapter of the book, representing the different lands visited in the story. While admittedly a gimmick, this touch adds much to the fun of reading the book. ( Reviewed in Germany on January 18, 2019 )
