Characters
You may not know much about The Winged Monkeys. Why were they important? That whole legend Baum made up. Why was it important? You know, coming up with all these things take time and AUTHOR'S DON'T WASTE TIME! Well, I will tell you.
Without The Winged Monkeys, Dorothy would have never ever made it to Oz. She would have never known that they can not fly to far away lands. They also carried her over the mountains of the Hammer Heads. Without them this whole book would've came to a HALT! Dorothy would not have been able to return back to Kansas without them. The Winged Monkeys are so important.
The Ending
I had about endings with this book was when you thought it would end it would keep going. Then about 50 pages later when you think it is over it keeps going. i think some of the parts towards the end were unnecessary. Over all, it was not an amazing, mind-blowing ending but was pretty straight forward and you knew that Dorothy and Oz would not have another story. Overall the ending was average.
( Don't get me wrong! The content of this book is amazing!)
