A Charmed Life: The Worlds of Chrestomanci, Book 1 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I love Diana Wynne Jones. I enjoyed Harry Potter, but I thought Jones' Chrestomanci series was just as good, inventive, enjoyable, amazing. I hope any of my friends who enjoyed Harry Potter will try Chrestomanci. Howl's Moving Castle was great also but it was Chrestomanci that I thought was truly inventive and charming. "

" Could have influenced JK Rowling. Especially in the writing of HP7. "

" Not the best writing but interesting story line. "

" There is only one Chrestomanci. And he is a lot sexier than Albus Dumbledore "

" Cute for a children's book. A little too on the "Y" side of "YA" for me (I would think this is like 5th grader-ish). Would keep reading the series if I didn't have 5 billion other books I want to read. "

" very entertaing and just a bit quirky, which I like in a book. "

" Another book that Robin McKinley told me to read. Magic, parallel worlds, and the requisite orphans, this a quick and entertaining read, with plenty of well-written mystery and adventure. "

" It took me a while to warm up to this one. Had I had a better time at the beginning, I would push it up to four stars. I'm looking forward to the next one, though. "

" The cover does look really boring but this book is really good from the first chapter I was caught. This book was recommended by Shannon Hale. "

" This was an interesting diversion up until the last third. Then it was just a disappointment. "

" My first favorite book. Dianna Wynne Jones could take JK Rowling any day. "

" Kind of odd, in a British sort of way, but very clever too. "

" This books turned me into a Diana Wynne Jones fan. It's a wonderful story that anyone can enjoy children, teens, adult. "

" Very enjoyable! After not managing to get into Diana Wynne Jones for so long, I think I'm set for a period of obsession! "

" This was amazing! It seems amazing to me that I somehow skipped over reading it as a preteen, since it's exactly the sort of thing I loved then (and still love now). A really charming lovely book. "

" Fun, might look into more of this character's series by the great Diana Wynne Jones. "

" Quick easy and entertaining read. "

" A little slow starting but it picked up and I enjoyed it. Chrestomanci is a Enchanter, and the name is a title not a given name. "

" I read this years ago, as a kid. Will re-read soon. I remember even at the age of 11, ripping through this volume in less than a day. How? Iunno. Pick it up and find out. "

" Fun and interesting. A very imaginative set of tales. I'm never sure which story I enjoy more from this one as they both have their own merits. "

" I was frustrated by the apparent stupidity of both of the characters, they should have been able to figure things out, but the books were fun and engaging, and very imaginative. "

" Among the best fantasy I've ever read. "

" I liked these books a lot. I found this one at a yard sale and was so taken with the otherworldlyness of them that I bought the next two of them "

" This was undoubtedly well written and had interesting characters, but I felt like it lacked something to make it as compelling and exciting as my favorite books are. When it ended, I was left feeling a little depressed. "

" Really interesting read. But I was never ready to leave the story, I was always left craving more. "

" This book was one of my favorites of Diana's! "
