Download The Road to Oz: Wizard of Oz, Book 5, Special Annotated Edition Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Baum has one creative odd mind! Enjoying the Oz series of books. "

" I wonder why two of my favorite books in the series were centered around Ozma's birthday parties. This one seemed a little more, hm, childlike? There was more of a pattern here, where every character's introduction played along the lines of, "Who are you?" "I'm the [insert character's name:], where are you going?" "We're going to Ozma's birthday party!" And so on and so on. Still, the story is charming, and a lot of fun. And so very very strange, but that's par for the course with any of L. Frank Baum's books. "

" Argh, I wrote a reviwe of this...then hit the wrong button and flushed it down the virtual toilet. Let me sum up by saying that if even the author doesn't care about the story, the reader will notice. Each story in OZ has been worse than the last and only a die hard would be able to read all of them. "

" This was my favorite Oz book as a child...I particularly loved the grand and lushly illustrated birthday party at the end, and Polychrome, the rainbow's daughter. This edition, like all the Book of Wonder editions, reprints the original in all its illustrations and whimsical typesetting, in the original size. This particular volume, with its rainbow themes, also has pages of different colors as you progress through it. A beautiful edition of a whimsical, adventurous classic. "

" This was very similar to the other Oz books. But the new characters and story still seemed fresh. "

" This is the 5th book in the OZ series of books by L. Frank Baum. It is loaded with all of the many OZ characters that you know and love as well as many more new people and creatures to meet. Even one famous jolly old elf drops by! What a birthday party we will have for Ozma of OZ. Be sure not to miss this grand adventure. "

" Not my favorite book in the series but some memorable new characters. "

" Read through Daily Lit. One of the better OZ books. It had a good amount of humor and I liked how a lot of the characters from previous books make an appearance. "

" Yet another plotless Oz book. It would have been a hundred times better if "Santa Claus" turned out to be the Nome King in disguise. Also, it's funny how one of the gifts is a crown made out of RADIUM! Yes, I know people didn't understand radioactivity then. . . "

" Perhaps it's an age thing but I found this book too simplistic even trying to judge it as a children's book. IMHO it needs more action/conflict. Still, not a bad read for kids I suppose. "

" Read it when I was little. Loved it SO much, very sad that I lost my copy. "

" Annika has read the entire 15-book L. Frank Baum omnibus. These are treasures that should not be lost to modern children! She is reading several of them aloud to me. Hilarious! "

" Fun books. I'd love to own the whole series someday. Great to read aloud to children, especially after about age three. Fantastic imagination, but all clean, very safe reads. "

" Dorothy helps a shaggy man find a road and in the process they all end up in Oz for Ozma's birthday party. "

" I'd have to say this may have been my least favorite of all the Oz series I've read so far (I've read the first six), but you know, there really is no way to hate any of Baum's books. They're just so lively, fun, and creative. "

" Pretty cool book. Seemed to drag a little bit.. Shocking moment of book?? Santa Claus appears in the Wizard of Oz universe??? Wth??? Lol :) "

" this book was more an encounter of the festivities ... not many adventures as the books so far "

" Almost entirely plotless and beyond that a near copy of the original, with four travellers and a dog seeking the Emerald City. Finally, the last 50 pages or so are just a boring meeting with everyone who ever was in an Oz novel. Saved only by the wacky and original characters Baum dreams up. "

" Mr Baum challenged himself to come up with some odd (if very peripheral) characters in this one. "

" The boys liked it. I'm overwhelmed by the description. "

" A marvellous books that takes us to the innocent mind of a child and her sensible new friends, each one with a purpose to embrace Dorothy's journey.
Written in a simple way but with the right words that warm our heart. "
