Un Lun Dun

Clever. It's sort of like what The Phantom Tollbooth would have been like if Clive Barker had written it. It also has shades of the Cat's Eye Corner series. This is all good praise, but I can't help but feel that the book could have been a lot better.

Incredibly clever tale populated by unique creatures and unforgettable characters. Extra props goes to its tongue-in-cheek subversion of almost every fantasy cliche known to man: this is like some warped reverse version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that succeeds on so many levels.

As always a great read. I don't think I have ever read a bad book by him

Tried to read his adult books and couldn't stand them, but his one "young adult" book is just amazing.

Of course, as many Urban Fantasies are, this one was located in the Young Adult section, but it's still a good read for any adult still attaining an imagination. Initially, the story seems cheesy, oversaturated with puns and wordplay, the general feel of the storyline is still quite engrossing.

Harry Potter gets a twist of Alice in Wonderland in this endearingly offbeat heroic fantasy of an alternate London.

Inventive, amazing, a thrill all the way through. Clever and delightful characters, delicious wordplay, truly a treat to read. An irristable cross between Alice in Wonderland and So You Want to be a Wizard. I couldn't put it down but didn't want it to end! Absolutely loved it.
