Summary: Great book
Comment: I am a HUGE Oz fan and I love this book. It's so exciting and addictive that I read it in one sitting. I especially appreciated the jokes. Unlike most humor today, they weren't offensive and were actually quite witty. I also found the portrayals of the characters to be faithful to Baum's books. The elements from "Alice In Wonderland" woven into the story were a little strange and slightly out of place, but since I love Alice too, I didn't have a problem with it. This is a wonderful book, but I can see how some people wouldn't like it. You have to like the style of writing and humor or else you might find it too corny.

Summary: Baum Bummer
Comment: Being an Oz fan for nearly 50 years, I was reeled in. But I quickly drowned in Gardner's laundry list of celebrities, authors and beloved fictional characters who are insulted by their inclusion in this lusterless soggy saga. L. Frank Baum has been maligned. All of us who grew up with or grew to love the Joy of Oz have been maligned by this preposterous travesty. Save your money and your time. This book is neither adult nor children's literature. It's just plain drivel. - advice from a former schoolteacher.

Summary: One star might even be generous
Comment: I had the misfortune to pick this book up in a science fiction bookshop recently. The spiel on the back of the book - not clearly marked out as a children's book in its UK edition, I might add - promised a great deal, and being a fan of Jeff Noon's writing, in particular his Lewis Carroll homage 'Automated Alice', I was quite taken with the possibility of discovering an American equivalent, a funky modern revisiting of the Land of Oz.
Sadly, 'Visitors From Oz' proved to be abominable tripe.<
