Rating: Summary: Diane Duane created another of her amazing books! Review: I think that this another excellent book! I absolutley loved. Perfect for anyone who has had a cat and/or likes fantasy books. Making kitties as the main characters is pure genious.
Rating: Summary: WONDERFUL! Review: I personally don't care one way or another about cats, but this book was amazing. It weaves a rich culture and shows an intricate plot that makes you wonder what is coming next. I recomend it to anyone who can read!
Rating: Summary: Simply Purr-fect Review: (Ok, sorry for the pun.) In an age where most anything you read nowawadays is a copy of something else (i.e. Tolkein, ahem...) this is a wonderful bit of originality mixing Stargate, Jurassic Park and Lillian Jackson Braun's 'Cat Who' series. This is the type of novel you seek out for a bit of fresh air in the fantasy genre. Anyone looking for anything more action-packed than this is going to have to read a Dick-Jane kiddy book where it's all action (because that's the only way they can keep kid's attention!). These book fully develops it characters and the repercusions of their actions in their everyday lives. Wonderful tale masterfully told.
Rating: Summary: WOW! where is the third one? Review: how could anyone say they couldn't get hrough this book? it was filled with new ideas for people, plus the magical excitement i love in books. the many new things plus the loveable characters made this a great read, recommended for anyone who loves a bit of adventure! a 5 star book!
Rating: Summary: Great concept, horribly drawn out Review: I do like the characters and the concepts put forth in this book, but if you're looking for a little less talk and a lot more action, DON'T get this book. It was so long-winded, I didn't even get past the first 150 pages! If you're an impatient reader, search elsewhere for something to read.
Rating: Summary: A cat lovers delight Review: I enjoyed this book immensely! The author has a fine of understanding of the cat.
Rating: Summary: The best book I've ever read! Review: This book should be read by all cat lovers, and I would like to have cat haters read it too. Because I think it would change the way they think about these wonderful creatures!It made me laugh as well as it made me cry.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful wonderful wonderful! Review: I love Diane Duane for writing such a fantastic book on cats being wizards. A catlover, I just soaked myself in it and lost myself in Rhiow's world and when she lost her 'human' I cried along with her. A fantastic world also Diane Duane depicted in Downside. A must read for catlovers who have a penchant for magic as well.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: I loved it! This is an INCREDIBLY good book. The character personalities are totally believable and the plot is intricately woven. You may get a bit lost in the technical details, but the characters make up for that. Diane Duane has really outdone herself.I thought it was great! and I'm only 12! I pray for many more sequels, and To Visit the Queen is just as good. I know nearly everyone will love this book. You HAVE to read it!
Rating: Summary: Exotic adventures of four magical cats and their efforts to Review: This was a fascinating story of magic and wizardry that charmed me from start to finish. The things I liked most of all were the interactions between the cats and their humans ( I was especially amused by the Three Tenors rehearsals--though I was a little surprised that the anti-wizard dinosaur was allowed to eat Pavarotti) and was quite glad that it didn't disintegrate into a reworking of "Jurassic Park", though for a few pages it looked as if it was going to do just that. I think that Ith, the Saurian wizard might have crossed into the cats' universe as a bird at the end of the story, just as they crossed over into his universe as sabre-toothed panthers. A minor quibble, but it would have been interesting. I was almost as upset as Rhiouw when her human was killed--I hope something is done to help that situation in the sequel. Quibbles aside, I found it a fun read that was different and engaging. I was also wondering if parts of it weren't just a little bit influenced by the opera, CATS. Mestofeles, the Magical Conjuring cat, was most certainly one of the wizards! Congratulations on a nifty book.
