Very enjoyable story. I can see why, as discussed in the afterword, Gaiman and Reaves thought this would make a good tv series: this book reads a bit like a season finale (except, of course, for the bit where we're introduced to this particular Joey Harker, but the scale of the story feels like a se ...

"Quite good" with a caveat - it's really not terribly well written. Fascinating, if you're interested in the way people's brains work (or don't), which I am, but there are times when his fascinations (for instance, his invented version of solitaire) can bog down the narrative.

I enjoyed this, but it was a little to heavy on the allegory for my tastes. Still, it was about what I expected.

This was a really enjoyable book. I liked it so much better than The Merlin Conspiracy (which is the only other book of Diana Wynn Jones' that I've read), and I'm really glad I picked it up. Next up, braving the movie and hoping the changes don't bother me as much as they bothered friends of mine.

M Is for Magic
Was annoyed to discover that there were only two stories in this book that I hadn't already read. Not sure if it was worth buying all of these a second time, even if I did enjoy some of them.
