And, in the alternate reality described in Diana Wynne Jones's Witch Week, that's not at all a good thing to be. It is one of the reasons I kept reading her work into adulthood.Someone in 6B is a witch. I read this book originally perhaps third in my quest to keep up with her work. This is a great classic Diana Wynne Jones title. This is a great title to listen to when you're doing long range road trips though. This book is unabridged and may be too long for just one sitting unless you have a significant time to book listening. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? He is a pleasant reader, his pronunciation of certain words in the English, (not American language) make his reading easy and interesting to listen too. What does Gerard Doyle bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? The integration of variety of sub-plots and characters makes me want to listen/read this story over and over again. The character development and twisty and turning plot. It's worth a listen and his great for young people age 12 and up. The story builds including more and more characters bringing them together nicely for the conclusion of this wonderful story.There are a few weak spots in Gerard Doyle's reading style but as a whole this is a great book and a good choice.
The characters are in a forced schooling system and Diana creates a dark unhappy image of that alternate world school system. Her characters in this book cover a full spectrum from nice to naughty, from mean to bullied and from popular to vilified.This story is based in England in the boarding school system of England. She creates such a vivid world that holds it own life. I bought "A Tale Of Time City," when I was young and fell in love with her writing style immediately. Alternate historys in fantasy world settingsĭiana Wynne Jones has been one of my favorite authors for over thirty years.
