desert island book for sure.....I used to memorise chapters of this in primary to read in my head when my book got taken away......diana wynne jones is so excellent, this holds up every time, I need everyone I know to read it, it's deeply ingrained in my personality, love you forever and always.

I loved the movie and now I love this book. It was magical, whimsical and a bit silly. I didn't love the ending for a few reasons but the rest of the book was a super fun and an excellent listen.

3.5 stars

I was liking it at first, but it just maintained a steady “they go here and do a thing, then they go here and do another thing” flow and it got a bit dull. I had heard this is a comfort read for some people, but it just didn't scratch that itch for me. I will rewatch the movie though.

I picked up this book because I loved the film, as I'm sure many people have. It's quite different to the film, but It's wonderful. I love the characters and although a bit ‘wtf' at places, it's such an interesting and spellbinding story! I'd highly recommend it :)

sometimes the best way to pass time is to read a book you would’ve been absolutely obsessed with as a child

2nd time reading this.

Just as good as the first time.

This book is brilliant and if you love the movie and haven't read the book, I beg you to read the book. Also fantasy lovers? You need to read this classic.
