Lines: 10 From: binder%dosadi.DEC@decwrl.ARPA (Wherever you go, there you are.) Book 41: /A Barnstormer in Oz/ by PJ Farmer. It's good, it's real PJ Farmer, and I wouldn't give it to kids. It is quite well done, and the story certainly fits the Oz stories well, even "explaining" many things we only wondered about. But fairly intense sex (NOT explicit) disqualifies it, in my humble opinion, from membership in the canon, becaust a kid book it ain't. Cheers, Dick Binder (The Stainless Steel Rat)
