By A Customer
This review is from: The Magicians of Caprona (The Chrestomanci Series) (Mass Market Paperback)
The Magicians of Caprona is undoubtly one of the best books i've ever read.It beats Harry Potter hands down.If you have read other Chresomanci or Diana Wynne Jones books and love it, then this is the right book for you. What more can i say? Its the best!!!!!!!! Its more than the best......its simply......AWESOME.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicate but funny!, 8 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Magicians of Caprona (The Worlds of Chrestomanci) (Hardcover)
DWJ adds an Italian feel to the Chrestomanci series. This book was, I think, the first book of hers I ever read. It takes the Capulet/Montague theme from Romeo and Juliet, but sets it down in a city with two warring families of magic practitioners. The main characters are children rather than teenagers, but I don't think it's meant as a reworking of the play, it's an original in itself. They have to learn to work together (despite their family feud) to try and rescue the city...any more and I would give the plot away. But it's a good read if not as *complex* as some of Diana Wynne Jones' work, and highly recommended for younger readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant battle between rival magical families.
Set in an Italy of small states, this is as brilliant as Diana Wynne Jones usually is. There are two rival magical families (shades of Romeo) but the duel is not just between... Read more
