Review
Reviewer: Edgar&Ellen - 10/23/2008 18:51 Subject: Sliver Shoes Here I was excited to see that the OZ books where here. This is the first one from the series, and I have read it before, but it was a joy to listen to it. J.Hall is a great reader. Thanks for your hard work. If you only seen the movie, I recommended you take a listen. Many things are different, but I always like how these fictional worlds change over time, , because I do like the ruby slippers better.
