I've now read and enjoy the Lost in Oz series and am ashamed I spoke ill of both the author and his work. I’d like to make a retraction to my previous post.

The whole thing looks like it was written by some fame-hungry teenager. I am also not very interested in anything McFarlane would write, but Olson's idea sounds very fascinating.

So his family signed up, this is his grandmother. I don't understand you, Mr. Bell. I've read nothing but negative comments from you on any messageboard that I have ever discovered you on. I think you need an ego check. Sincerely, an old woman who can kick your ass. Because, you stupid asshole, there is a petition on the Lost In Oz site for people to come and sign up.

The series Lost In Oz by Joshua Dudley is the best modern take on Oz I've seen in years. "The Wizard of Oz." I think people will expect to see a modern MGM musical, the only way around this is to produce a film that is a direct connect to the story of the wizard of oz, but updated with new stories and protagonists. Dorothy is played out. Let's bring new blood to Oz! Rene www.lostinozbook.com I agree with Mr. Avante.

It has quite a cult following and is gaining more and more interest in the media. I think it's the perfect blend of the Oz books, but still giving them an amazing, modern-day twist. Mr. Olson -- I'd take this seriously and contact the people at Lost In Oz. www.lostinozbook.com hope I helped. I think you should actually do a movie of Lost in Oz, a new novel by Joshua Dudley.

If nothing else, this is generating interest in places outside the US.
