  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;Rupert Venables is a Magid.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It's a Magid's job to oversee what goes on in the vast Multiverse. Actually, Rupert is really only a junior Magid. But he's got a king-sized problem. Rupert's territory includes Earth and the Empire of Korfyros. When his mentor dies Rupert must find a replacement. But there are hundreds of candidates. How is he supposed to choose? And interviewing each one could take forever.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Unless...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What if he could round them all up in one place? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Simple!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The novels of Diana Wynne Jones are a lot like Philip K Dick's in their rough treatment of reality, but where in his books reality tends to fracture and break, in hers it slowly frays and dissolves, almost without your noticing. You think you're standing on a nice cosy rug, but then find yourself fa...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16233802">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another good read by Wynne Jones. I like to pick up a book by her once a year. It is like visiting an old friend and she is prolific enough that it is usually a book I haven't read yet. This one I'd say is best for 15 and above as there is some sexual innuendo. Many complicated plot twists in a worl...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20712942">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The plot was a bit convoluted and did not grab me as deeply as I had hoped for.  However, if you're looking for a good &quot;tween&quot; book or a YA book without all the angst, this might be a good choice for you.  It's got all the elements of a good fantasy book:  magic, villains, centaurs, ducks,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20407243">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm a huge fan of the DWJ formula so I'm biased to begin with, but this is definitely one of my favorites.  The &quot;real world&quot; setting works remarkably well, the characters are just a little more adult than usual, and that really lends itself to... um, all the nerd jokes! Probably my favorit...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11942308">more...</a>]]></body>

I don't think it'll ever be one of my favorites (I liked <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6294.Howl_s_Moving_Castle" title="Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones">Howl's Moving Castle</a> much better), but Jones is a talented author.<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12936958">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love Diana Wynne Jones' adult books.  This one was especially delightful because it takes place at a fantasy con, and because it has multiple authors with distinct voices.  Very fun!  This was a re-reading on a day when I was very sleepy and needed some comfort reading.  :)]]></body>
