Summary: Slow to start, but picks up the pace
Review: Baum does it again - another masterpiece. The Patchwork Girl of Oz is a great book with only one flaw (hence the 4 stars instead of 5). It is really slow to start. Most of the 14 Oz books penned by Baum start with action (the first book, in fact, unlike the movie, brings Dorothy to Oz in the first couple of pages), but this starts with a boring visit to the crooked magician that, while important to the overall plot, really drags. But keep reading - it gets better. Once the quest begins, the story picks up and you will be finished before you know it.One of the things I liked the best about this book is that it really takes place in Oz. Even though all of the 14 Oz books are well written, several of them don't bring Oz into the story until the last chapter or two. This one begins and ends in Oz. The only thing I would recommend is that, if you are not familiar with the Oz books, start at the beginning and read them in order. Even though the plots of the books are all complete within the individual volumes, Baum introduces characters who then reappear in later editions. While everyone knows who The Scarecrow and the Tin Man are, other equally wonderous characters are introduced along the way. And if you've read all the Oz books and are looking for other titles that are just as magical and just as inspired, try the Chronicles of Narnia, King Fortis the Brave or Abarat. All will introduce you to other magical worlds that are every bit as fun to visit as Oz.

Summary: This was a Great book!
Review: I am seven years old and I loved this book very much. It has a patchwork girl who was brought to life with the powder of life. It was exciting and there are sad parts and scary parts and good parts. I just really love it! It's one of my favorites of all the Wizard of Oz books. Some of the characters are Unk Nunkie, Ojo, and the crooked magician. The crooked magician was in the book with Mambi in it, too.

Summary: the patchwork girl of oz
Review: I have read every one of the oz books and these books are great to read to your children or grand children. I read these books to my sons, but the books belonged to my husband. We have tried to find these books in the libraries but the ones that we have visited did not even know that they existed except The Wizard of Oz. These books are filled with great wonders and they teach our children to accept the differences in people. I highly recommend these books to anyone.

Summary: A must for fans of Oz
Review: I was surprised to find out that Baum himself had made a go at putting Oz on the screen, only to be frustrated in his attempts to get his work seen in the tightly controlled film market. When I saw it for rent, I had to to see it for myself. It's colorful, ambitious, and has a very positive view of human nature. Heck, the title character is pretty feminist, even by today's standards. This film, made for kids, is probably best seen by older Oz fans who can look past the technical limitations of the age and see just how Baum himself wanted Oz to look on film.
