Incredible adaptation!

I have not read the book, but I've seen the movie. I honestly think I liked this adaptation better! A little cheesy and over dramatic at times, but overall, super fun! 10/10 would recommend!

Classic but odd story; fairly good adaptation

slightly bothered by the sing-song quality and over emphaticness of Dorothy's voice. also some scenes have weirdly long stretches of sound effects (like when the woodman is killing wolves). besides those things I enjoyed listening to it and I think it represents the book well

Great listen

enjoyed more than the film, the plot is thicker and the lore runs deeper. Great performance by cast.

Oz!

I loved everything about this. The story, the performances, everything was top-notch! I want more like this.

The best book ever

Everything about it is good and good plot twist in the end
So good love it
