Fantasy legend Diana Wynne Jones, who has captivated young listeners for generations, delivers a compelling and Enchanted Glass adventure. I Enchanted Glass already bought and read a hardcover copy of this excellent book, but I like Steven Crossley's reading so much that I bought the audiobook too. Diana Wynne Jones's books are a convincing blend of magic and ordinary life. Her characters are clearly drawn and memorable, The villains are menacing, and the good guys are charming, including the rather dangerous young giant who's filled with glee because his new clothes have zippers. Even the good guys don't always agree for example, there's a prolonged silent contest over the arrangement of furniturebut we get to see friendship, humor, and loyalty among people willing to go out of their way to help each other. Would you listen to Enchanted Glass again? I enjoyed the voice, characters and story very much and would like to revisit Enchanted Glass another time. What was one of the most memorable moments of Enchanted Glass? Andrew visits Aidan's foster family and discovers that the story is Enchanted Glass complicated than he had realized. Which character — as performed by Steven Crossley — was your favorite? While I liked most of the characters, Andrew - a person of magical talents, Enchanted Glass not seeking after Enchanted Glass, with, instead, a sense of responsibility and a passion for history, definitely Enchanted Glass my sympathies the most. Any additional comments? This is a delightful story - suitable for children and adults. I want Enchanted Glass start by saying that I am a Diana Wynne Jones fan. But her books are always a hit or miss Enchanted Glass me. I loved some of her books but I couldn't get into some of the others. I knew I was taking a gamble. I Enchanted Glass bought the hard cover but I Enchanted Glass have time to read it, so I downloaded the audible. The book was whimsical like all the other DWJ books, with goofy characters, and silly villains. But what the heck was it about? What was the plot? Who was Enchanted Glass main character? First, you have Andrew, who has a weird experience on his way to his grandfather's, who he finds out is dead. Then you have Aiden, who shows up out of nowhere for no reason after his grandmother dies. You have a bunch of insolent, annoying servants, and a handful of odd characters who drop in and out causing all kinds of chaos. This is Jones' style, but it sometimes gets out of hand to the point that the whole reading experience is almost painful. enchanted - rainbow hand-blown glass votive | glassybaby

One thing I've always liked about Diana Wynne Jones' books for children is that she Enchanted Glass no artificial barrier between adults and children; they're all people. So rather Enchanted Glass have the grownups dismiss or disbelieve the children's real concerns for no apparent reason other than that they're grownups, in her books parental and other adult figures Enchanted Glass, understand, and Enchanted Glass stuck in to Enchanted Glass magic. In Enchanted Glass, Diana Wynne Jones takes this a stage further: even though the book is obviously a One thing I've always liked about Diana Wynne Jones' books for children is that she makes no artificial Enchanted Glass between adults and children; they're all people. In Enchanted Glass, Diana Wynne Jones takes this Enchanted Glass stage further: even though the book is obviously aimed at children and young teenagers, the main protagonist is an adult in his thirties — and a real adult at that, not just an older person with a childish personality. I found the switching of viewpoints between him and the twelve-year-old secondary protagonist a good way of showing that there is no real difference between people of different ages, just different personalities. In this book, Diana Wynne Jones takes a lot of themes she's touched upon in previous stories, reworking them and improving them in new ways. Melstone House has a very similar atmosphere to Chrstomanci Castle, with Andrew Hope as a more believeable and rather more interesting Chrestomanci reminiscent of a more sympathetic Rupert Venables from Deep Secret. There's a lot about names, their power and variation think Eight Days of Luke ; some clannish villagers, some wise, some Enchanted Glass like The Pinhoe Egg ; and references to greater powers Black Maria or, better, Power of Three. And I've always loved the way she depicts the working of magic: natural, powerful, and almost instinctive to the practitioner, not at all mechanical the way Harry Potter magic can be. There's a well-constructed plot, with a nice little — not so much a twist as Enchanted Glass flourish — at the end, but this takes second place to the enjoyable character interactions and atmosphere. This was a nice gentle change for me from plot-driven books where bad thing after bad thing happens and only begins to start coming right near the end. I particularly liked her handling of Andrew and Enchanted Glass half-forgotten memories of his grandfather, subtly hinting — but never explicitly saying — that his grandfather had made sure the memories would resurface as they were needed. I have a suspicion that in writing this book towards the end of her life, Diana Wynne Jones is deliberately looking back over her career and picking out some of her favourite ideas and giving them a work over. And I think she succeeds: it was certainly good enough for me to read it twice in quick succession, just because it was such an enjoyable world to be in, Enchanted Glass such nice people to get to know.

Don't worry if you're confused, it will all be sorted out in the Enchanted Glass, as Andrew gets his head out of the clouds and begins to figure out the puzzle that has been left to him, along with the help of the orphaned Aidan, the weredog, the beautiful secretary, and. This book was so utterly delightful that I was smiling goofily all while I was reading it. I really think that Diana Wynne Jones is at her best when she's gently mocking English life. Mixed up in the fete, of course, you have the usual wonderful mix of magic and humor that were her trademarks. I am quite sad to finish this book, as the wonderful author has recently passed away. She leaves a wonderful legacy, however. View 2 comments. Apr 02, unknown rated it it was ok Recommended to Enchanted Glass by: Connie Fletcher. Shelves: add-half-a-starin, yasci-fi-fantasylibrary-booksdwj. I had to choose the UK edition, as the cover of the US version is totally lame. Who do they think it's going to appeal to? Boys won't want to read it because it has rainbow swirls, and girls won't want to read it because it's about a smelly boy. I certainly felt stupid Enchanted Glass it in Starbucks this afternoon though I did get to sit next to the old lady with a Kindle and her iPad-wielding elderly husband again So this is a 2. Enchanted Glass this is a pleasant book with thoroughly delightful characters, but I have to admit that I often didn't have Enchanted Glass very good idea of what was going on. There's something about faerie kings and magical doppelgangers and mysterious parentage and the eponymous glass that does I'm note sure what. Something magical. It involves magnets? It's quite like Howl's Moving Castle in that way; that book also told a confusing story about very likable characters. I suss that's just Diana Wynne Jones' style -- she doesn't work to over-explain everything, allowing for the mystery in the magical to remain. This is probably more of a problem for her adult readers; kids Enchanted Glass wrapped up in books in a different way, and the linear aspects of the plot Enchanted Glass less important, because of course the magic colored glass Enchanted Glass magical, like, no doy. It's better to focus on the quirky, slightly familiar characters -- the fussy gardener, the grouchy housekeeper -- which all have the same last name, Stock, which is probably DWJ's little joke, especially considering all the scattered references to A Midsummer Night's Dream. I've got a whole stack of DWJ to enjoy, but I really wish I'd encountered her as a kid, because I think that's when she was meant to be read. Specifically, we find out that one of the main characters, a young boy, is not, in fact, the offspring of the fairy king but of a seemingly benevolent old magician, who dies on Enchanted Glass one. The boy's mother seems to have been a bit of a problem child, sent to the magician for "looking after" by her grandmother when the girl was a teenager. Um, so basically the something magician had sex with a year-old this is excused by stating she "threw herself at him," and also maybe because women can bewitch men with spells? I guess it worked! I'm totally going to file that away for future reference. View all 3 comments.

I picked it up because I had it in my scribd library and was looking for something whimsical and fun to read. I had never read any of Diana Wynne Jones books before, but I Enchanted Glass Neil Gaiman had given this book 5 stars and he is one of my favourite authors. This was very different from middle grade fantasy that Enchanted Glass have read before. It feels very magical throughout the book although in the beginning there's just small things happening it really captures Enchanted Glass whimsical fee This book was really great!
