Duncton Wood

6 journalers for this copy...
This is by far one of the best books i've read (the others being duncton quest and duncton found!). Duncton wood begins the trilogy brilliantly and sets the scene with a story of great fantasy and romance and laying the foundations for the other two.

Well i finished this book in record time, it was so gripping. Just when you thought the story might end along comes another twist. I must get my hands on the others in the series now, although I think I might read a few books in between as it was a very long and involved book.
I recieved efs300's address this morning (after a 5 day pm delay!)and will be posting it on to him later today.

This big book arrived safe and sound yesterday in New Hampshire, USA. Thanks Charlieboots76 for the 'English goodies'. I started reading last night.

Just finished this very good book. A very different setting and cast of characters but extremely well written and made me just keep wanting to read more. So I look forward to the rest of the books in the series. I have Qantaqa's address and will get this book in the mail along with the nice wooden bookmark included by Charlieboots76 sometime this week. Thanks to -JAFFA- for sharing.

Mailed this book this morning off to Qantaqa. And it was an interesting trip to the post office, I arrived 10 minutes before it opened, sitting there reading a book of course, when I heard this loud metallic crash. In the parking lot next door about 500 feet away from me a small airplane crashed and exploded, here is a link to the story. A little to close for comfort! US Customs label# LC580664209US in case it gets lost.
The book was waiting for me when I came home from my Christmas holidays today - funnily, it arrived at the same time as Duncton Quest (the 2nd book in the series?). Thanks a lot for sending and for the ring - I'll try to be quick.
I just wanted to let you know that I'm already reading the book and that I enjoy it a lot. I'm about halfway through and hope to be finished by next week...
I've finally finished this book and have to say, it was really amazing! I'd never have thought that a story about moles could be so gripping :).
The words that come to mind when I try to say what I didn't like about Duncton Wood are "too much" - too much detail, too many stories within the story, too many twists and turns. It felt as if the author tried to write several books at once. Nonetheless, I was very entertained and am looking forward to reading the sequel (though I'll have to read a few other books in between).

The book is here! thank you Qantaga and -Jaffa- for sharing.
Foolishly I thought that these were going to be three thin books. No idea what gave me that impression to be honest, so I was a little surprised to find a 700 pager in the post this morning :-)
But 'a clash of good and evil in the savage kingdom of moles', as the front says, has got to be an interesting read. Oh, and did I mention I am on holiday next week? Absolutely perfect timing. Looking forward to it.

I feel really bad for saying this, but I didn't get on with this book at all. It is a pure failure of my imagination, but whenever I read what Bracken was up to, all that got in my head was: 'But moles surely don't do things like that!' The last straw for me was when they travelled to find a mole to teach them how to fight.
I can't explain why I felt like this. I know that if Bracken and Rebecca had been some sort of alien creature living on a different planet, I would have enjoyed the book. I just couldn't get past the mole thing.
I'm sending it on to Luintaurien today. I'm sure her imagination will surpass mine.
