Rating: Summary: Great book recomandation Review: I have the book "Support Your Local Wizard" it has three of the books in one ("So You Want To Be A Wizard", "Deep Wizardry", and "High Wizardry") they are all great i'd recomend these books to anyone :)
Rating: Summary: This is a fantastic book. Review: I love Deep Wizadry. It is the first book that ever disappearedfor me. I was only about ten, and read it from cover to cover in onesitting - I didn't finish until about three in the morning!! I really felt I was there - I couldn't see the words, I wasn't aware I was reading, I felt wet and could smell and hear as well as see what was going on. No, I'm not crazy - if you've ever read a really good book, you'll know what I mean - you don't realise it is a book!! Enjoy.
Rating: Summary: I never could finish it! Review: The sequel to So You Want to Be a Wizard. I loved that book so I though I would like this one. I liked every other wizard book she has written except this one. I always fell asleep reading it. The spells and magic stuff are cool but the plot just wasn't as good as High Wizardry, A Wizard Abroad, and the Book of Night With Moon. It got so boring after they had to tell Nita's parents that they were wizards. I didn't even know that Nita hadn't died (since I never finished it) until I read the next book in the series. I give it 3 stars because the plot kinda sucked but the Stuff was cool.
Rating: Summary: My facorite of the Nita and Kit series Review: Don't pay attention to the pigeonholing of these books as Young Adult -- I'm forty-five and I enjoy them at least as much as "adult" fantasy.Nita and Kit face some serious moral and ethical dilemnas in the waters off Long Island. The sequence where Nita finally figures out what to say to her parents is a classic. What a joy to see well-drawn believable adolescent characters with a sense of responsibility and moral character, without getting at all preachy. Duane isn't afraid to put some pretty intense stuff into her work -- a bit more scary jeopardy that some may be used to in adolescent fiction. But this remains the best of a fine series.
Rating: Summary: A great book Review: I think this was a really great book. They described the setting and characters so well. It is imaginitive and hard to put down. The story was interesting and I reccomend it to anyone!
Rating: Summary: The best book I have ever read!! Review: This was possibly the best book I have ever read. It combined the oddness of the other wizardry books with that uncanny plot of underneath the ocean. It has many interesting twists and turns, and is sure to be one of your favorites too!!
Rating: Summary: The best of a great series. Review: This is not only one of my favorite YA fantasies, but one of my many favorite books. The characters are believable, their responses to problems genuine, and their victories substantial. Readers see not only the responsibility, care, and devotion required to change the world for the better, but learn that to care does not mean to sacrifice innocent delight in the changing. This book introduces an intriguing "Death" figure--the Pale Slayer, a vast shark whom young Nita simply calls "Ed"--and deals honestly with the issues of sacrifice, evil, and afterlife that arise from Nita's awareness of her mortality.
Rating: Summary: One of my three favorites. Review: After re-reading the "young wizards" trilogy for the 8th time, I discovered subtle nuaces I had never seen before, and those that I had just drew me in further. I would definitly and do definitly suggest this book to everyone.
Rating: Summary: Probably the best in her series! Review: This is a great thought provoking book. My favorite part is where she tells her parents about her wizardry. I'd wanted to hear that part since the first book. I recomend this to anyone and everyone no matter your age.
Rating: Summary: This book must have taken a lot of imagination! Review: This book is so creative! I read the first three chapters, and then I couldn't put it down! You realy get to know the characters in this book. And then you start thinking like the characters. And pretty soon every thing that happens to them happens to you.
