alarmingly racist! surprised more reviews don't mention this. every time I thought it was over there was another even more shocking slur or caricature

It would give this title 2.5 stars if I could but Goodreads doesn't do half starts. It is short and could have been cut in half as the second half feels a bit tack on. It is interesting to read book written in the past where language politically correct terminology is not a thing. In fact I found when I came across it a bit shocked. Sign of our times I suppose. Though overal an interesting look at what a foreigner or alien makes of the western world.

I didn't like this one as much as the regular stories. I'm in the process of going through the books and this where I'm at. It should not have been written, in my opinion. Just sucked.

Okay I’m not sure what I just read. I wanted to like this but it’s….rough. It’s for sure racist, although I am keeping in mind the year it was first published. It was just an odd book. To me it didn’t really feel connected. Oh well it was ok not as good as the other Oz books I read.

MVP- I didn’t even like one character enough to make them my MVP of the book.

Was a fun short in the Oz series, but didn't grab me in like the first two of the series had.
