5.0 out of 5 stars a goodun, 23 May 2006
By P. J. Rice (London, England United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is actually two books in one, there's also a second 'volume' with two more books, and several other storys which can be bought individually. This volume has the first two stories, but i think you could get away with reading the second volume first because they're not really sequels as such, just storys set in the same world.
when i bought this book i didn't know these things, and after i read the first story, i wanted to read about those same characters again, but the next story was about almost entirely different characters. apart from that small dissapointment, this book, and the whole series really, is really really good. every time i start a new story, its like 'oh no these new characters are going to be really boring compared to the last ones' but they never are, each story is just as good as the last.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant read!!! Great 4 Harry and magic fans!!!!, 24 Jul 2003
By Lizzy Daws (Lincolnshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Great!
My favourite characters are Cat and Chrestomanci(pronounced: KREST-OH-MAN-SEE)
I escpecially like Fiddle and Throgmorten! because I feel sorry for them!

A brilliant story set in a world were magic is common, and there are witches and wizards everywhere!

BETER THAN HARRY POTTER!!! (and that is something!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!!!, 4 Jan 2001
By A Customer
A captivating read. I love where Cat and Gwendolyn live-in amongst witches, diviners and necromancers. I especially liked the 'exotic suppliers', mainly because I think it would be nice to see inside their shops. If you have a taste for fantasy then I strongly advise you to read this book. I hope you enjoy it.
