Customer Reviews

All in all a great book

I read some other reviews and saw that the other readers hated it because although the author (Thomas L. Tedrow) claims to have read the oz books his novel is more suitable to a sequal to the MGM film than to the orginal books. In fact I'm not so sure if L. Frank Baum would have approved of it much either. I admit that I was bothered a bit by it to. But I still really love it. This is why. It really helps to keep the child in us alive. It gives important lessons such as, if you treat others as you want to be treated, you can change your life and the lives of those around you. Two wrongs don't make a right. Greed is not good. If you really treat others like you want to be treated, you can be at peace with yourself. It is the simple things in life, like giving of yourself, that are worth more than all the riches in the world. Follow your heart and don't be fooled. Trust in the golden rule and trust your own values. That will always bring you red carpet treatment if you're true to yourself. If you give from your heart, not expecting anything in return, good things will come to you. It is a really very charming story. All of the characters are very wonderful. I love the humor. And the ending was most heartwarming. So, I suppose the others who read it just didn't catch the true meaning of the book like I did. So don't listen to what others have to say and read it and decide for yourself whether or not it's a good book. You wont want to put it down, I gaurente.
