Dreams Underfoot: The Newford Collection Audiobook

" Only made it half-way through this one. The premise is interesting -- intertwined short stories with a fantasy twist -- but ultimately not interesting enough! The writing was average at best and most of the stories just didn't grab me. "

" short stories, couldn't keep my interest so I stopped reading which I almost never do "

" Really creative urban fantasy, a departure from the common fantasy...Good Stuff. "

" This was my favorite book when I was in middle school. It still holds its own for most of the short stories. "

" Fun short stories, if sometimes slightly underdeveloped. Still really great, original ideas and a good blend of folklore with an urban setting. "

" One of my favorite books... "

" I absolutly loved these stories when I read them! 'Urban fantasy' it's called, and its super cool if you like fantasy stuff. I liked this book more than anything else I read by this author. Check it out! "

" This set of interconnected short stories does a great job portraying the wonder and mystery of magic springing from an urban setting. The stories are at their best when they don't get too heavy-handed with their message, leaving room for a little enigma. "

" The second book I read by de Lint, it's a collection beautiful and lyrical. One of his best. "

" The first couple of chapters are slow moving - as are the last couple. I flew through the middle stories. I don't know why some were so much easier to read and enjoy than others. I'd borrow this book from the library if I were you. "

" Very nice collection of fantasy in places where you would least expect to see it. "

" I read this as a teen and have been trying to find it again ever since! Thanks, Autumn, for posting it now I can finally find it! "

" I've been reading de Lint for ages and love his blend of urban decay and fairy magic. "

" Didn't get the book finished yet. Might come back to it, might not. I started with de Lint's novels and found I didn't like the short stories as well. What I read I enjoyed, just didn't love. "

" A collection of some of de Lint's finest short stories, a magical yet realistic journey through the streets of the fictional city of Newford.Wonderous. "

" De Lint has an amazing way of blending the magical with every day life, reminding us that we are the mythmakers... "

" I LOVE the way de Lint writes. His stories will change your world. "

" This is a series of urban legends at the intersection of the world we understand and faery. I was always engaged by the end of every tale and the reappearing characters gave a sense of community "
