Not Freddy Kruger gory.īottom line, this is one of the books that I consider a must read in your lifetime book. So there are a couple of violent and gory scenes. The only warning I have is that along with the not talking down to children, this book does not pull punches. The book is one of the best-known stories in American literature and has been widely translated. Besides the fact that it helps children remember a book, it aids in communication. The story chronicles the adventures of a young farm girl named Dorothy in the magical Land of Oz, after she and her pet dog Toto are swept away from their Kansas home by a cyclone.

In addition, it is a wonderful book to read with children. It is exciting, imaginative and incredibly intelligent. This book is so incredibly good that I decided I want to read all the books in the series. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz exceeded my expectations. What a pleasant surprise I had when I began to read the book. In fact, I am ashamed to admit that I felt the same way when I decided to read it to my daughter. For that reason, I can understand how many might think it will not be interesting, what with all the Percy Jackson type stories out there now. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was originally published in 1900. While the movie is great, it is only a shadow of what the book is. Kang is dangerous wherever he is.I don't know how popular the movie The Wizard of Oz is today (2012), but it is definitely a classic and I see it on TV a lot, usually around Halloween. It's why he had to fool the citizens of Oz into thinking he had great power. Back in Kansas, the Wizard is just a good-natured snake-oil salesman. When Kang finally suits up and goes to work with his awesome technology, audiences begin to understand why alone he's an Avengers-level threat. Later, when Kang meets Scott, the villain is threatening but delivers those threats in a measured, almost disinterested tone. Kang tricked Janet by making her think he was a quiet, driven genius, apparently her type. Yet, Darren is more like a flying monkey, driven by base impulses, until he finally joins the good guys in the fight against the great and powerful Kang.ĭespite the army at his command, Kang is far worse than the Wizard of Oz, who used trickery to make himself seem bigger and more powerful.

And instead of the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man and Scarecrow, Janet was paired with a combination of the Wizard and the Wicked Witch. But instead of slippers, it was the power source for a multiversal warship that meant bringing death to countless worlds so she could get home. In this version of the Oz myth, Janet had her ruby slippers the whole time. Yet, if anyone is Dorothy in Quantumania, it's the woman who first wore the wings, Janet. To those characters who do go, they get the wonderment and awe part of Dorothy's story. Fans may lament the exclusion of Scott's "side of the family," including his pals, but the movie didn't have a place for them. A modern fairy tale with a distinctly American setting, a delightfully levelheaded and assertive heroine, and engaging fantasy characters, the story was enormously popular and became a classic of children’s literature.
