4.0 out of 5 stars About average, as far as Oz books go, Jan 31 2003
By Nathan M DeHoff (Absurd City) - See all my reviews
As far as Oz books go, this one has a lot going for it. Kabumpo, my favorite Thompson character, is back, and he is accompanied by Jinnicky, the Red Jinn of Ev, in his first major role. The evil fairy Faleero, as an exaggerated puritanical character who allows no fun and games, makes a good villain. I don't think it's really among Thompson's best, partially because the plot seems a bit rehashed and hurried. This story had been preceded by numerous conquest by transformation plots, and PURPLE PRINCE is the second Oz book in which Pumperdink is in danger. The book, like most Oz books, contains visits to a lot of small villages, but most of them aren't developed very much, with the characters just coming in, being threatened, and leaving. It's almost as if Thompson felt she HAD to include some of these villages (maybe to pad out the book, which isn't one of her longer ones), but had trouble coming up with ideas for them that she could really develop. I don't think these flaws really hurt the book that much, though; it's just that I'd say it's only average among Oz books. This is a fun book to read, and one I would highly recommend to anyone who likes Oz.

5.0 out of 5 stars Purple Price of Oz, Dec 17 1999
By A Customer
A very wonderful book which is well written and very imaginative. You get to follow the adventures of Randy and Kabumpo as they journey on and on, so that Randy may prove he is a king. Clever and funny it is a very good childrens book.
