My Reviews:

I’m torn on how to write a review of this particular Oz book.  Although I do love the series dearly (up until this point), this book fell sadly flat for me.  Normally I find myself loving each and every character, but at this point I’m wondering if there is just too much of a good thing.

Even the new characters were lacking in charm for me.  Button Bright just seemed like a little brat, The Shaggy Man (and this is NOT Baum’s fault) kept putting Shaggy from Scooby-Doo in my minds eye and Polly gave me several urges to smack her.

Of course, there were still some funny moments and I did enjoy portions of the book – so I am hoping that the next one will bring back a little of the love for me and perhaps provide me with characters that are a bit more like-able than this latest set.
