"De Lint is a master of the modern urban folk tale."--"The Denver Post"
"It is hard to imagine urban fantasy done better then it is by de Lint at his best."--"Booklist"
"In de Lint's capable hands, modern fantasy becomes something other than escapism. It becomes folk song, the stuff of urban myth."--"The Phoenix Gazette"

2.0 out of 5 stars 2 stories don't necessarily equal a 1 great book, 27 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I am an avid fan of the work of Charles de lint, having read the Moonheart and Newford series, The Little Country and Into the Green. I read Greenmantle after reading de lints previous highly acclaimed works, but I found it hard to finish. It seemed as though de lint had two unfinished stories to start with: Valenti and his mob relations, and the mystery of Greenmantle and Mally, and simply combined the two together in an attempt to let each story carry the other along. It works, but not as well as it should have. Both stories contained enough conflict and subplotting within eachother, that I began to get the feeling if I read every other chapter, I'd be walking away with just as much as if I read it straight through. If Greenmantle put it's focus on _one_ of the two stories, it would have been, in my opinion, more enjoyable to read. Towards the end of the book, I felt no ties with any of the characters that I'd had with Izzy of Mem&Dream, or Sara and Pukwudji in Moonheart.(try as I might have with Mally, one of the most intriguing and enjoyable characters of GM, that deserved more of a story behind her) This is not to say I was completely disenchanted with Greenmantle. There were parts of the book I really liked, particularly the focus it put around the mythological Pan, and the final fight Ally makes for the Green Man. However, I don't regard this book as one of de lint's best. I think if you're a hard core de lint fan, then you'll probably cherish the spot on your bookshelf where it stands (if not hunt me down first for disagreeing), but personally I've read far better from him.

5.0 out of 5 stars greenmantle, 26 Nov 2003
By A Customer
This is quite probably the best book I have ever read, and certainly the only one I have come back to again and again. It was given to me whilst I was in hospital after a car accident which killed my unborn baby, and nearly me. It allowed me to see that there will always be magic in the world, and people are what you make of them. Because of Charles de Lint, and I have now read most of his books, I try to look for the good in people, not always easy, but a whole lot better than only seeing the bad.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as "Moonheart" but not bad., 18 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This book was half mafia crime drama and half fantasy. It would have been a better book if it concentrated more on the fantasy than the crime element. The way the paths of the characters in the book crossed was also kind of hokey. The book was'nt bad, it just was'nt all that great either.
