Criticize Appertaining To Books The Very Best of Charles de Lint

Charles de Lint is my favorite author. He has this way with his stories that even if you've read them before, coming back to them is like meeting up with an old friend. His stories take you so easily and so effortlessly into a place where life is more than black and white; where Mystery is right next door and anything is possible.His books and stories are good for the heart and soul I think; they can ease you back to a place you once knew as a child but gave up on in the harsh "reality" of being

This is a lovely collection of Charles DeLint's work encompassing many years of his life and the characters (many of DeLint's characters reappear throughout his books and stories over the course of about 20 years of their life - and 20 years of his for that matter). Charles DeLint is one of the originators of Urban Fantasy - but less Buffy and more similar to Gaiman, however more mysterious and less horror although both Gaiman and DeLint move back and forth across the horrific line. DeLint

Good, as expected.However, there's a surprising amount of bad formatting and typos - mostly in the form of mid-sentence line breaks. It's odd - I've received numerous ARCs from this publisher and never seen anything like this and I'm really surprised to see it on a book of reprints - especially since they've had a couple of years to issue corrections.

I got bored. It was a lovely world, but nothing that interested me happened in it.

I'm finally (and sadly) done with this collection of magical stories, regarded as the very best of Charles de Lint by his fans, and it feels like such a daunting task to write a review for this book but I'm going to try anyway. 29 stories, and an introduction, live in these pages, and out of all of them, only 10 were just ok for me. The rest ranged from really cool to absolutely amazing. The themes? Anything you can imagine, but mostly revolving around Newford, art, magic, faerie, old times,

OMG The first I have read of his work and Whoa!!!!!Amazing imagination and creativity descriptive world, that shows all behind the veil the great and the horrible. Anyone who has suffered from abuse would find some healing in this collection. Going to find more to read.
