3.0 out of 5 stars
Not as good as John R. Neill, but as good as Baum & Thompson, July 12 2004
This review is from: RETURN TO OZ (Mass Market Paperback)
Well, I enjoyed the movie, but am not so sure about the book. The characters are not as funny, nor as real, nor as well-developed as in the other authors' books, but this is a workmanlike treatment of what was just an okay screenplay. If you've seen the movie and can relate each character to the on-screen persona, then it's acceptable, even fun. If you haven't seen the movie, probably not.

googd book,but vindge could do better, July 8 2000
This review is from: RETURN TO OZ (Mass Market Paperback)
i always loved the movie retutn to oz,and this movie novelizatin is one of the best i have ever read but...it is simply not the same land of oz. the characters are much too different than the original and i would hate to see what vindge would have done if she wrote the story herself instead of novelizing it from the movie.return to oz the movie had the oz magic but this novel based on it rather stole the innocence that l.frank baum had intended in his original books.

Please, spare yourself the agony, Jun 9 2000
This review is from: RETURN TO OZ (Mass Market Paperback)
I wish I could give this book 0 stars. I read it because it was oz related, and now wish I hadn't used that logic. I already despised screenplay novelizations, and this was one of the worst. The writing is awful, and the author is awful at description. All I can say is, Leave this site and do someting else, RIGHT NOW.
