    One of the best-known stories in American culture, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has stirred the imagination of young and old alike for over 100 years. Best Actress nominee Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married, Alice In Wonderland), fresh from filming one of this year’s most anticipated films, The Dark Knight Rises, lends her voice to this uniquely American fairy tale.

    What did you love best about The Wonderful Wizard of Oz?

    I love how quiet my car gets when I turn on this audiobook. My 3.5 year old and 7 month old are immediately hushed by Anne Hathaway's fantastic narration.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz?

    Towards the end of the book, the number of characters in each scene reaches a crescendo and Anne Hathaway does an amazing job of juggling her voice so that even young children know exactly who is speaking.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    My daughter loves the moment that Dorothy wakes up in Oz.


    Any additional comments?

    This book has inspired me to buy more children's audiobooks.

    When a murdered woman is found in the city of Beszel, somewhere at the edge of Europe, it looks to be a routine case for Inspector Tyador Borlof the Extreme Crime Squad. But as he investigates, the evidence points to conspiracies far stranger and more deadly than anything he could have imagined. Borl must travel from the decaying Beszel to the only metropolis on Earth as strange as his own.

    Story

    A great thriller with a very cool, if complex, premise. While the foreign names and sometimes confusing story would make this a better read in hard copy, I really enjoyed listening to this book. Give it some time to sink in - it's worth the time.
