5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Harry Potter In My Opinion, September 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Books of Wonder Oz Box Set: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz / The Marvelous Land of Oz / Ozma of Oz (Paperback)

It's been a while since I last read a book in the Oz series but I just couldn't get enough of them as a child. I can't think of a more underrated series of books than those set in the wonderful land of Oz. There is so much more to Oz than the movie that we have all seen. Don't make a huge mistake and think that since you've seen the movie that you know what the books are about because I guarantee that you have no idea. These fantastic books are filled with adventure, danger and excitement and each unique book seems better than the last. This set is a great way to introduce yourself or your child to Oz. I promise you that once you start reading the Oz books, your bookshelf will soon be lined many, many more of Frank L. Baum's masterpieces. Harry Potter may be all the rage with kids these days but as someone who has read both the Harry Potter books and just about every Oz book there is I honestly believe that there is no doubt which series is better. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the Harry Potter books a great deal but they fail to compare to these absolutely delightful works of art.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Oz Book Set - a great buy!, March 3, 2001

This review is from: Books of Wonder Oz Box Set: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz / The Marvelous Land of Oz / Ozma of Oz (Paperback)

Each time I read the story of the little girl named Dorothy and her dog Toto being swept off to the land of oz, I fall in love. These books are great for younger readers because they are easy to understand and are even better for the adult who is young at heart. Through the words of L.Frank Baum I get transported into the wonderful land of oz, which is full of excitement, friendship and good times. Not only is this boxed set at a great price it is also a beautiful collection. The covers and drawings are all original and all truly reflect the amazing story it accompanies. If you haven't yet read an Oz book, you are missing out.

These books are timeless classics.

The Wizard of Oz. Is probably the most beloved story in the world. However, allot of people seem to forget there's of the wonderful series. This is notably because of the musical. However, you really can't blame that.
Even so this is a beautiful series. All about Dorothy and her friends. The wizard story and a lot more then most people remember.
Truly one of the greatest stories out there.
