Format: Audible Audio Edition

Frank Baum's classic fantasy novel receives a shiny new rendering with Jon Koons' elaborately produced audio recording, complete with sound effects, music scoring and solid performances by Koons himself, with Dannielle Manente as Dorothy. Koons shows great range and skill in his handling of so many diverse characters, and his narration is solid and likable. The sound effects and music are a plus for the most part, though at times the mixing is such that they interfere with the text. Being more familiar with the classic film than Baum's original, I was intrigued to see how many plot twists had been added for the movie, which I found to be improvements upon Baum's original. Two examples ares the death of the Wicked Witch of the West, and Dorothy's running away from home - in the film, it is the reason she doesn't make it to the storm cellar in time to escape the tornado, a nifty bit of plot causation and character delineation absent from the book. Hopefully generations of listeners will enjoy this version in addition to the timeless film classic.
