Reseñas de la Crítica

"A must for Chrestomanci fans, this solidly entertaining tale is also accessible to readers new to the series." ( Booklist)

Best performance yet

Great story, and though I've read it a few times this audio book had me spellbound, excuse the pun. Mr. Doyle did a great job of keeping all of the Pinhoe uncles separate, which must have been incredibly difficult, and the female voices were never screechy or strident.
Anyone who enjoys magic, English humor, mysteries and alternate worlds will love this tale.

Excellent!

I love DWJ books and this one was no different. Excellent! The narrator is also great! I love that the series has the same narrator.

wonderfull all round

this is one of my favorite books if all time. it's a comfort read, and the narrator for this was so good I kept forgetting I was listening to a book and kept going back 30 seconds to "rewatch/see" my favorite parts.

Excellent!

Syracusev the horse

I liked that cat was in a nother book and that naughty cat nutcase he kept running away.

Diana Wynne Jones' Pinhoe Egg

This is a kids book. However as an adult and also a fan of this authors work, I have to say that I did enjoy this book. The author has a very good manner of ending stories that always satisfies, and also has a method of world building a completely believable world. This is a part of a series, but from reading it I have to say that you in no way need to read the previous books to understand what is happening.

Wonderful

I love these books but this is my favorite!
I have listened many times.

Wonderful magical world of Diana Jones

Loved the story and the narration. Cannot wait to listen to more books of Diana Jones

Favorite Chrestomanci Book so far

If you could sum up The Pinhoe Egg in three words, what would they be?

Magical, fantastic, fun

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Pinhoe Egg?

Kat's final encounter with Mr. Farley

Which character – as performed by Gerard Doyle – was your favorite?

Kat - he thinks differently from everyone else and always tried to help others. I really like his connections to animals and creatures in this book. Very closely seconded by Marian for continuing to tell the truth even though it only seemed to get her in more and more trouble.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed a bit and I got nervous for some of the characters.

Any additional comments?

I listened to this book twice in a row I liked it so much!
