Summary: A WONDERFUL BOOK!!!
Review: When i first saw this book on the shelf of the bookstore i was a little dubious because it was in the young adults section but after i read it i had a much different opinion. It is one of the best fantasy books that i have ever read i won't lie it wasn't the best but it was very close. The book had a fascinating plot and a good storyline trust me it will be a sturggle to put this one down. :)

Summary: One Of My Favorites
Review: This book, So You Want To Be A Wizard, is one of the best fantasy books I have ever read. It has an amazing story line that only some authors can come up with. I really enjoyed the magical methods of carrying out their tasks. When I read a fantasy book, I really want it to take me away into another place and reality and this book acomplished that well. I thought that the creativity of the creatures and entropy were so clever, with all of the carnivorous cars and the dragon in the subway. The setting on New York City really put and interesting twist on the plot that left me thinking, maybe in all of those deep dark places, maybe there really are dragons and wizards saving the planet and the universe every day. I read a lot of fantasy books and this book along with all of the other three in the wizardry series are definitely going on my favorites list. I highly suggest reading this book and it's three companions.

Summary: I'm not a kid, but I love this series :)
Review: This is a very enjoyable series. I'm not a kid, but I read a great deal of fantasy fiction, and once in awhile I'll pick up something from the "teen" section, like this, and Tamora Pierce's books. Sometimes I'm happily surprised. This series is not dumbed down for children, and has an excellent theme throughout. The kids are put through more than most books would dare to do... having to make decisions that most adults would find difficult.These are classic stories of good against evil... with the twist of the idea that no one is beyond redemption. In this series the wizards travel through dimensions, space and time. An excellent read all around.

Summary: Who needs Harry Potter?
Review: This book is as good is not better than Harry Potter. This is a must-have for any Harry Potter fan waiting for the next book to come out. Don't wait, read all the Wizardy books by Diane Duane!

Summary: Worst Ever
Review: This was the worst book I have ever read. There is absolutely no comparison to Harry Potter. The story is about a girl who finds a book in the library called " So You Want to Be a Wizard." She soon meets another young wizard in training and together they battle some dark forces. I thought this book sounded really good, so I bought it, but this book is boring, and not at all interesting.It is not creative and some parts in the plot are quite predictable. I do not reccommend it.

Summary: Incredible
Review: I found this to be one of the most wonderful books I have ever read. Diane Duane's sense of magic is so detailed in some areas that it's hard not to believe it's real. The characters are lovable heroes. My friend recommended this to me and together we read the entire series and the corresponding one about the cats. (She also wrote to books geared more for adults about wizard cats in the same world- also excellent)Duane gives magic a chance in the real world- why and how it would work, and why the rest of the world doesn't know about it. In later novels she goes on to create a vast world for her characters that, for all we know, could be real!

Summary: A good book but unrealalistic characters
Review: The book was good but I felt that the characters were extremely unrealalistic. Nita, a thirteen-year old girl is beaten up by her peers. Thirteen!! Mabye for a eight or nine year old but for thirteen! Girls by thirteen have fights of words, not fists. Second of all, Nita's father wants her to fight back? Nita is thirteen and a girl. Why would a parent be encouraging their children anyways? Nita acts childish and her relationship with her sister is plain stupid. They never fight and are always helpful to eachother. In real life, sisters fight. It's a fact of life. I have one myself. This was a good read but Diane Duane needs to create more realistic characters.

Summary: Interesting, but not as good as I thought it would be
Review: I bought this book because of favorable reviews comparing it to books by Madeleine L'engle and the Harry Potter books. In that respect, I was greatly disappointed. The writing of the story did not flow smoothly and did not fully draw me into the characters, while the Harry Potter books instantly pulled me into story. There were parts of the story that were nicely done, but the book was not a joy to read as are the Harry Potter books, and not as easily read as the Madeleine L'engle books. So while parts of it were interesting and good, overall not one of my favorite books.

Summary: Great book!
Review: When 13-year-old Nita has to escape from some bullies, she retreats to her home away from home - the public library. While examining the shelves one book literally seems to grab her hand; its title is SO YOU WANT TO BE A WIZARD. Intrigued by such a title she checks the book out, and finds that it is indeed an introductory book to wizardry. However, this new knowledge presents Nita with a good deal of responsibilities. Finding another new wizard in the form of 11-year-old Kit, the two set out an adventure that takes them to an alternate Earth, teams them with a creature of most unearthly form and abilities, and pits them against an evil godling and all his... minions. Can they win, and what will be the cost? Though this book is listed as a juvenile book, its story is rich enough to entertain just about any reader. There is very little humor in this book; the action is serious and non-stop. This is a great book, without anything else a parent need worry about. I recommend this book wholeheartedly!
