I'm not sure I really like Castle in the Air, and I *am* a D.W.J. fangirl. <br /><br />It's definitely not her strongest book, though I did like that it wasn't set in England.Aeliahttp://aeliareads.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-53611015581251465562010-08-08T14:08:31.519-04:002010-08-08T14:08:31.519-04:00This is great -- I wish I could write such an ente...This is great -- I wish I could write such an entertaining review about a book I didn't care that much about! :-)Janethttp://acrossthepage.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-18637213400280573852010-08-07T01:19:46.313-04:002010-08-07T01:19:46.313-04:00I still haven't read any DWJ!!!

It's called Castle in the Sky!

My favorites are Dogsbody and Fire and Hemlock, but then, I haven't read many. Jenny really has the great recommendation list for DWJ.<br /><br />Jenny- Oh, I'm already liking the Chrestomanci story much better! And if that one falls flat for me too, I'm just going to read Dogsbody again and be happy.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-28151373103798315332010-08-06T20:21:18.416-04:002010-08-06T20:21:18.416-04:00Don't be sorry!

I like Castle in the Air but it's not my favorite... I'd like to say, Keep trying! but I am afraid I will be encouraging you to read more books you won't end up liking any better. :pJennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-91308252970325844122010-08-06T15:11:00.793-04:002010-08-06T15:11:00.793-04:00I'm embarrassed to say I'd never heard of ...I'm embarrassed to say I'd never heard of Diana Wynne Jones.
