Rating: Summary: almost there... Review: i really like all of the other books in the series but until now i hadn't read this one. nita always seems to think that dairine is a brat, so by the time you get to dairine's point of view you can't feel any sympathy for her. but about the book in general... dairine is a brilliant girl who always wants to learn more. she gets a hold on her sister nita's wizard maunal and takes the oath, though her manual is a new computer. the book is the story of her ordeal, the ordeal of one of the most(prbably the most) powerful wizards of all times. read i. its good
Rating: Summary: A bad ending Review: I really liked the first two wizardry books, so this one was a bad disappointment. The fanasty world of the first two seemed to have turned into a science fiction universe which was boring and unimaginative. The story was hard to follow and it was very annoying having Dairine as the main character as I never liked her and didn't want her to become a wizard. Rather then this bad end to a good trilogy I would prefer to think of So You Want to Be a Wizard and Deep Wizardry as a book and its sequel. The only reason I finished this book is because I wanted to read the whole trilogy-otherwise, it just wasn't intresting.
Rating: Summary: THE BEST Review: I started by reading So You Want to Be a Wizard about a year ago, and this summer read this book. I thought it was the best, best, BEST thing EVER. I don't know, maybe I can relate better with Dairine, but it justed MOVED me. You GOTTA read this.
Rating: Summary: AWESOME! Review: I think that this book was GREAT. I read it in two days becasue I just couldn't put it down. I have read So You Want To Be a Wizard and Deep wizardry, and now I am working on A Wizard Abroad. I think the way Dairine has a computerized manual is awesome! I think that the little turtles on the motherboard-planet were totally cute. After A Wizard Abroad, I hope to see more of Nita, Kit, and Dairine!
Rating: Summary: cool book Review: I thought this was an interesting book. But it focused on darine more than Nita and kit so in my oppinion it could have been better. I love the series though
Rating: Summary: I use this book for an interdisciplinary unit on astronomy! Review: I use "High Wizardry" for an 8th grade interdisciplinary unit on astronomy. Besides being a gripping fantasy, Duane weaves in most of the concepts taught by our science teacher. It could be used for a computer unit, since it deals with them also.It's a tough read for some 8th graders; I'd like to see an audio book published. My kids love this book.
Rating: Summary: I liked it, but not the best Review: In my opinion, this wasn't up to Duane's usual standards. I did enjoy this book, but not so much as the other three in the series. A reason that I might not have liked this book as much as the others is that I like hearing about Kit and Nita.In this book, Dairine Calahan, Nita's little sister, takes the Oath and, with her computer manual, finds herself on a different planet in a galaxy millions of light years from her own. While on this planet she meets some kinky little robots and the Lone Power. Meanwhile, Kit and Nita are desperately trying to find her and her trail is getting cold...
Rating: Summary: Definitly the best book in the series so far. Review: In the begining of this book Dairine is the sort of caracter you just hate but as the book goes on you like her more,in fact she may be my favorite caracter.I think Kit and Nita are unfair to her by calling her a brat and threatening to turn her into a fire hidren. This book is about Dairine's ordeal during wich she is being chased by te lone power since she was sent to force it to surrender.Dairine is given fourty eight hours to find a wepon she uses her time to create a species. I think my favorite part is when Dairine is arguing with her species about entropy,maybe because I know how she feels,knowing she's right but not being able to explain it. I hope you read this book and enjoy it as much as I did.
Rating: Summary: good! but not excellent Review: In this book nita and kit have to save dairine from getting in to much trouble w/ the lone power you see dairine has become a wizard and kit and nita have to save her before its too late! i ebjoyed this book but not as much as the others before. it seemws to me that dairine is way to smart! and the book never fully setteled the fact that nita likes kit ? do they eventually realize their feelings for each other? wut is the definition of "like"? kit seems to light on the subject . all in all i thought the book was great and im already on the 4th one hopefully further books will answer my questions!
Rating: Summary: the best Review: love it if you want a good book about wizardry this is it my mom likes it to its good for grown ups too i was in a like state where nothing could break me from it and i play like i am nita some times what she does with the lone power is incredible
