The Patchwork Girl of Oz Audiobook

" My favorite Oz book without Billina. I'm so glad that I met our 'Dear Friends' Ojo and Scraps! The other characters are nice, but Scraps is just great! The whole story is action filled and not at all dragging like the last few books. The land of OZ seemed almost mysterious again -- yey! "

" This might be my favorite since #2. There is a cute plot and a cohesive story line. It ended a bit quickly and a little too conveniently, but other than that I liked it. "

" This was my fav in the series "

" This book was SUCH a relief after the previous few books which were becoming terribly formulaic and repetitive. Fresh new characters make most of the story; new parts of Oz and new plot twists in general. "

" Here's where I learned to love the world found in books. I was a wee lad and I'd found my love. Now I'm much much older and I read them all again. Never mind the looks I got. In all the time that's passed I am still charmed. I also know a lot more about Baum. These tales are light and deep at the same time. Baum wrote these stories to talk about the nature of reality. He was a mystic. "

" One of my first favorites. "

" this is the seventh book l. frank baum wrote in the oz chronicles and is a type of reset from the first. the sixth book finds ozma closing the borders of oz and it seems that there will be no more stories, however, baum decided to come back to the world the had so endeared itself to children everywhere. this one brings in the characters of ojo, a munchkin boy, scraps, a patchwork girl, and bungle, a glass cat. they find themselves traveling oz in order to save ojo's uncle from petrification. another great entry and reset of the series by baum! "

" Definitely not one of his better books, but still pretty good. "

" I listened to The Patchwork Girl of Oz as an audio book. The story was very creative with many odd and unique characters. Although named for the patchwork girl, it is really about a munchkin boy who must go on a quest to find items for a magic potion to restore his uncle who was accidentally turned to marble. The Patchwork Girl goes along to help since she inadvertantly caused the uncle's accident. She is funny and says the weirdest things. It was enjoyable yet it had a very "pat" ending. The munchkin boy's "hero moment" falls short to me. "

" Characters SO IRRITATING. How did I not notice this before? "

" I DEVOURED this book when I was a child. My grandparents have the entire original Oz books. They are a family treasure. "

" This might be my favorite since #2. There is a cute plot and a cohesive story line. It ended a bit quickly and a little too conveniently, but other than that I liked it. "

" Ok - I'm reading it because it was mentioned in "The Book". Must count words as well. "

" It seemed that something else should have happened with Scarecrow and Scraps, within the limits of children's books obviously. It was a nice story, but I don't particularly like how everything ended. It sort of left me wondering why they didn't do that in the first place? "

" I am really surprised - I actually liked this book. It was an enjoyable read, which I did not expect. And some of it was downright funny. I loved the Glass Cat and her pink brains "You can see 'em work!". Finally, a good Oz story! "

" This was a fun story of yet another adventure taking place in the fairyland of Oz. All I can say is it's a good thing Glinda is around. If it weren't for her, things would get pretty bad. "

" Sure there was Toto, but did you know that Dorothy also had a chicken named Billina? "

" I think L. Frank Baum ran out of steam on the Oz-train far before he stopped writing. They are the same stories, with new characters or old characters that just don't remember each other. "

" It's impossible not to be charmed by this book when the children are so entertained by it. "

" I love this serious and this part is as good as the previous one if not more. :) "

" One of my first favorites. "

" One of the funniest and whackiest of the Oz books! "

" Hands down, my favorite of the Oz books. I remember reading and rereading this one in elementary school. Reading it now, I wasn't disappointed. Plot development and characterization were better overall. "

" This was better, with a more cohesive plot. But the characters are still a not terribly likeable. "

" Scraps is one of the quirkier Oz characters. Still, most of the inhabitants here are pretty smug, and only occasionally mocked "

" One of the better Oz books, some good characters and some interesting stuff happens, although as usual the problem is solved without any real input by the protagonist, but that's just how these book are. "

" One of my favorites in the Oz series, about the consequences of meddling in something you know you shouldn't meddle with. The patchwork is one of the best characters Baum created; a total loony, but with more going on upstairs than is immediately apparent. "

" A heart must be a great annoyance to one. It makes a person feel sad or sorry or devoted or sympathetic--all of which sensations interfere with one's happiness. "

" I love all the Oz books. Each character is as quirky as the next. Fun fun fun! "

" I really didn't like this book,I will try one of the others. "

" i had a really nice edition of this when i was a kid. it was one of the few books I owned actually. my brother and i were obsessed with Bungles, the glass cat to the extent that we named a cat after it. "

" My favourite of the Oz series growing up. I loved the Patchwork girl. "

" I like all the oz books - this is one of the best "

" I don't clearly recollect the later volumes in this series, but I know I ripped through the entire "Oz" shelf at the library. "

" Where everything seems unreal, the crooked wizard makes a glass cat and a patchwork girl come to life and two loved people that are turned into marble, a strange group of travelers make their way to the Emerald City to save them. "

" Very cute, but simplistic, as expected. "

" Definitely not one of his better books, but still pretty good. "

" I have fond memories of reading this and other oz books with my oldest sister when I was tiny "

" i like it a lot "

" This book introduces one of my favorite characters of all time. "

" This was a cute story with a great little adventure. I like how he brought back some of my favorite characters and introduced some new ones. "

" My favourite of the Oz series growing up. I loved the Patchwork girl. "

" Another installment of the Oz series. I always enjoy this series and this book is no acception it follows the same formula but the message of counting on your friends is still alive and well. "
