Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

As an audiobook editor, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Ron Knowles' narration of Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz. Knowles' warm and engaging voice perfectly captures the essence of Baum's story, bringing the characters and settings to life in a way that keeps listeners entertained from start to finish. One of the standout features of this audiobook is the way Knowles handles the dialogue, giving each character their own distinct voice and inflection. This attention to detail adds depth to the story and makes it easier for listeners to connect with the characters. However, the pacing of the story could have been improved, as it occasionally feels a bit sluggish, causing the listening experience to lose some of its momentum. Overall, this is a delightful and enchanting audiobook that will transport listeners back to the magical world of Oz.
