The Onion Girl Audiobook

" Totally enjoyed the audiobook version! Highly recommend for a good read! Lots of imaginative goings-on that make you think you can really do some of these things! I felt like I was really there! "

" A great novel! As usual. Charles de Lint is one of my all-time favorite authors. I read this book about 10 years ago and it was lovely to read through it again. I just wish I could visit all the places mentioned in the book. Oh to be able to see more than what I "see" every day! "

" Anything written by Charles De Lint is worth the read. He is truly talented and reaches places in the heart that few authors can. I once wrote to him thanking him for his work and he was kind enough to send me a lovely, personalized note in return. A gentleman and a true talent...... "

" Absolutely LOVE Charles de Lint. One of the best fantasy writiers, in my opinion, who combines mythologies from all different cultures to create his world of fantasy. "

" A beautiful story that brings a poignant light to the character of Jilly Coppercorn. "

" The problem with De Lint is he's just not nearly as imaginative as he thinks he is. His "flights of fancy" are flat and derivative at best. Even worse, in my mind; he can't write believable dialog, friendships, or young people. At all. "

" The Onion Girl hit close to home for me. That made it hard to take, and I had to put it down several times. Am not usually a reader of fantasy fiction but this book doesn't really feel all that unrealistic. Pretty quick read. "

" too confusing and hard to follow "

" You'll fall in love with Jilly if this is the first Charles DeLint you've ever read. If not, you already love her from previous stories. This one focuses on Jilly and you will not regret picking it up. Also be sure to follow-up with Widdershins. "

" Charles de Lint's characters are beautifully earthy and ethereal "

" The first book I ever read of De Lint's. This is the one that got me started. "

" Was listening to this on my computer, and there was an error a couple of hours into it. I decided I wasn't interested enough to try to recover the file... "

" One of his best, imo. The ending isn't truly resolved until his novel, Widdershins, but was still satisfying. "

" This is by far one of my favorite books. I have a lot of personal reasons for loving the storyline but there is a pull to Jilly that I can never seem to escape. This is one book that I can happily read over and over. "

" Another one of those novels where I very much liked the concept, the tone and even the characters, but there was just something a bit off that kept me from falling in love with it. I feel the same way about American Gods. "

" Charles De Lint is amazing. His stories become so real and make it easier to believe that magic exists in our everyday world. He is so talented and able to write women to perfection! "

" Wonderful book! The over-lap of the mundane world with the world of faerie is magnificient! What an absolutely great read. "

" About 50 pages in, I almost gave up on this book. The subject matter was sometimes disturbing. But the description of the dreamlands kept me going and I'm so glad. This is a beautiful book, despite the dark history of the main character. Magical and lovely - and the ending leaves you with hope. "

" Charles de Lint has done it again! I love all of his work and the Newford stories the best. I am glad that this book met all the expectations and beyond of what I want when I buy a deLint book. "

" First De Lint and I was hooked... "

" Was listening to this on my computer, and there was an error a couple of hours into it. I decided I wasn't interested enough to try to recover the file... "

" This is the third Charles di Lint I have listened to - I downloaded from audible. The Narrator is lovely to listen too so that helps the story flow. This tell the story of Gilly Copperfield as she recovers from a car hit and run and her story into the the dreamlands. "

" 3 1/2 stars. Interesting read but the story ran a bit long. Really liked the characters and imagery. I'll read more of his stories. "

" The first book I ever read of De Lint's. This is the one that got me started. "

" I've been meaning to try this author for a good long while, and I'm glad I did. I think I would like to read more. This novel is a fantasy, but like the best fantasy, it's deeply entrenched in reality. In this case, some of worst symptoms of reality, actually. But it stays hopeful. "

" Damn good book... but best if you've read at least a third of his other Newford books first. Folks who start here will probably feel lost. "
