I give it an A...

I love the Wizard of Oz books.... I just can't seem to get enough of them.... it brings your mind to a whole different world.... its great for young adults, teens, and adults.... I give it an A...

Two...count 'em Two...Tin Men!

This book, for some reason, was one of the hardest for me to lay my hands on as a child. As an avid Oz, this was pure torture. I had always loved the Tin Woodman, so I was desperate to read a book dedicated to him. Finally, on my 11th birthday, I was given the book by a friend of mine...and, after all the anticipation, I am happy to report that the story did not disappoint. I was immediately captivated by the cover of the book, for--what was this--TWO tin men? That was all the encouragement I needed to immediately abandon reality and plunge into this book. Well, after reading this tale again as an adult, The Tin Woodman of Oz stands up as one of Baum's best. In a somewhat rare turn for the author, he gazes back upon a past book of Oz to explore the history of one of his all-time favorite characters--and he does his usual marvelous job. My favorite scene is the adventure with the giantess, Yoop, but this adventure really starts to thump like the heart of our favorite tin man when our heroes meet none other than the Tin Soldier. This is probably the darkest of all of the Oz books; after all, Baum describes the building of a man from the discarded parts of another! But it's always Baum's charming style that wins over and, somehow, he can handle what seems to be a macabre subject matter in a delightful fashion. As a boy, it was a great pleasure to read a book that starred an all male trio (very unusual for Baum) and I'm sure this contributed to making this Oz adventure one of my favorites of the series.

A wonderful adventure through the Land of Oz!

In L. Frank Baum's twelfth Oz adventure, he takes you on a quest through the Land of Oz to answer the most puzzling secret of the Tin Woodman's past: what became of the pretty Munchkin girl who Nick Chopper fell in love with so many years ago?

A definate for any Oz fan

This book is great. If you never knew how the Tin Woodman became who he is, or want to know what has changed since he left the woods, read this book. It captures what kind of relationship he had with his girlfriend before the Witch cursed his axe and he became the Tin Man that we all know him as and love dearly.

great book

Definitely one of the best books in the series. I reccomend it. The book keeps at a good pace and always keeps you interested. I loved it so much that when I read it, I read it in two days: I couldn't put the book down!
