Product Description
Return to a darker Oz with Gregory Maguire. In A Lion Among Men, the third volume in Maguire’s acclaimed, New York Times bestselling series The Wicked Years, a fuller, more complex Cowardly Lion is brought to life and gets to tell his remarkable tale. It is a story of oppression and fear in a world gone mad with war fever—of Munchkins, Wizards, and Wicked Witches—and especially of a gentle soul and determined survivor who is truly A Lion Among Men.
Customer Reviews
All three of the Oz books I've read by the author have been PHENOMENAL; this particular book was the only one (so far) which caused me, in some passages, to laugh -- to LAUGH OUT LOUD! I laughed so heartily while reading a few particular passages (or a line) that I dropped my Amazon Fire! This book contains all of the elements which made the first three of the books I've read in this series instant classics; it's the only one, however, which made me guffaw at times! It's beautifully written (although, as with the first two books, it's better to read this on an e-reading device with a built-in dictionary, as -- at least with me -- the book's vocabulary can be challenging), and its prose and storyline is intimate, sweeping, pulse-pounding and lovely.
