Summary: A Great Beginning to a Great Series
Review: In my opinion, this is truly a good book. It begins the Young Wizards series in such a way that you have to read all of the books in the series. I think that it is worth reading this book, just to see what it is like. I can practially guarantee that you'll like it if you like good fantasy. The plot is good and the story is enthralling, with quite the climax. The characters are very real and very likable. Set in New York and Long Island, the characters are provided with a modern-day place to work their magic. This is one of my personal favorite books.

Summary: This book is not good
Review: I'm sorry, but this book is bad. The sentences run together, the dialogue is confusing, and the plot line is tired. You would do good to waste your time elsewhere. Go read a real book.

Summary: LOVED IT!
Review: I am an avid reader of all types of book. I was just in the bookstore at the mall located not too far from my house and looking for any book to catch my eye. I was just looking through the titles of books and the title, "So You Want to be a Wizard" caught my eye. So I bought the first and the second book in the Young Wizard series. After reaing the first one, I was hooked on them. These are awesome books and I can't wait to buy the fourth and fifth ones, having just two days ago bought the third one, read it, and loved it. I can't wait!

Summary: Diane Duane is BRILLIANT!!!
Review: I waited for MONTHS to find this book, having read Deep Wizardry and High Wizardry first, and it was worth the wait. This is a fantastic book with an excellent plot. It is a bit complicated, and I recommend reading it at least twice to fully understand it. People complain that it's no Harry Potter, and they're right - this ISN'T Harry Potter, it's something more than Harry could be. Not "better", but MORE. Diane Duane has a fantastic talent in describing things, she really shows you everything.I HIGHLY recommend this; it's one of the best books I've ever read (and that's saying something). If you don't like it, it's probably just because such...deep...sci-fi isn't your cup of tea, and that's great. .... ....

Summary: So I Want to Be a Critic
Review: This book is very interesting. I would recommend it to people who enjoy books such as Harry Potter, The Circle of Magic, or The Hobbit. If you find these books are not your style, this is not for you!! I think this is a fun book to read, but I do not enjoy the, I think, long and often hard to follow. This book is not for kids under 7!!

Summary: Another Reader looking for Another Adventure
Review: When i first got this book from the library i put it down after 3 pages. At the time it had looked to me like a big, boring book. I brought it home again to give it another chance (like 2 years later) and I think it's great. The story is good, bringing magic into a world you are most familiar w/ and even entering more worlds. The story of 13 year old girl mixed with another boy is weaved together of them trying to learn magic. Just novices, they are experimenting w/ Speech that leads them to a lot of trouble. I think Duane had a great idea, and even if it's not as exciting as some other books, it's worth it.

Summary: The Best Book Ever
Review: I got this book when I was six, and I loved it to death. It was wonderful, and I cried for days over the ending. If you want to get a young kid a book, this is probably the book you should get them. Forget the rest, this book will keep them spellbound.

Summary: it's ok
Review: when i first got this book i thought it sounded really good. but, when i actually got it and started reading it i just couldn't get into it or relate to it. the characters seemed kinda fake and the whole plot was very unbelievable. i just couldn't even imagine it. there's this 'person' that they can't even name because somehow that makes him even more powerful and they are talking to a white hole ... and it's like how does he talk? and you can't really imagine inanimate objects talking or thinking or even living, which in the book they do. i mean isn't that why they're called non-living? the book itself was good but if you're looking for something that you can relate to more or imagine or if you just want to get into the book then you probably shouldn't count to much on this one. (the 4th one was a little better though, still not very believable, but better)
