I voted "High wizardry", but to ell you the truth, I would've also gone for "A Wizard Alone". I chose "high Wizardry" over the other one, because in the end, to me, nothing beats advanced technology.

I said "A Wizard Abroad" because I would love love love to visit Ireland someday. And I think it's amazingly awesome that you meet Ronan in that book too. I found there was a lot of humor in that book as well. I'm not a Nita/Ronan shipper, totally Nita/Kit, but I just love Ronan in general.

I know, I am probably the most boring voter... But I voted So You Want To Be a Wizard. I loved all the other ones, and I think that both Deep Wizardry and Wizards at War contained possibly the most suspence... but I like them all for different reasons equally. So, I voted So You Want To Be A Wizard because it was the book that got me started in the Young Wizards series.

I voted W@W. It was just simply amazing. But then again, they all are, aren't they? I've read them (and lent them out) so many times their covers are quite demolished!

SYWTBAW is just classic,
DW is amazing-- the ocean! What's not to love!
HW- Dairine was my favorite. Bologna-and-mustard sandwhiches
WA- Emi, me too! I'm a little obsessed with my Irish side right now I'm listening to "The Old Ways" by Loreena McKennitt funnily enough...^^ And what isn't to love in Ronan as a first kiss boy? Dang, if my math is right, Nita beat me by about a month, XD
WD- just so powerful, I love every second of it.
AWA- just true. Nothing more to say on that one
WH- A much needed "holiday" from the gravity of the previous two books, and yet...still packs a punch.
W@W- Don't get me started!

So, now that I've given that great summary on what I think of every book and it's publisher...

Dai Stiho!

I'd definately say my favorite book is A Wizard Abroad. I think I accidentally voted for another book on the poll, but my favorite is AWA. I LOVE Ireland and the whole thing on faeries and elven-like peoplein that book. And also the explaination of ghosts. The characters from this book are unforgettable (Well, so are all the rest of the YW characters, but...). Unfortunately, I haven't read Wizards at War or A Wizard of Mars. I have W@W, but I just don't have time to read it.

Anyway, I like how you created a poll! Before, it was just posting in the book's area, but I like polls more. Perhaps I'll go visit the AWA section to see what's there.

It's interesting to not only think about your favourite and why, but what the strengths of different books are

I definitely have moods where the only book which really fits for what I need to read is AWAl (as in this is the only book I own that fits, not even just the only YW book). For this reason that is one of the best books to me. How everything works with Darryl is impressive. I've also found that if you're feeling bad this is a very good book for cheering you up because of the amount of hope you can find in it. It also is a very interesting book to discuss to me, while I prefer others for the story, this one has the most for me personally to talk about.

As for if I want plot, I think I'd go for W@W. While all of them are addicting in some ways this one is more.

However, what I voted for (as I'd expect people to know just from what they know of me on here) is most definitely HW. Spot as a character is awesome. The mobiles are just fun, and what can beat combining a good story, computers, and magic. The interactions between Spot and Dairine are a strength in all of the books, but the focus on her in this one is just fun. There's the whole idea that computers need to be named, that computers have personalities, that there is more than a machine there that you can bond with, which you see in their interactions and not in the other characters. It shows things that can really make a difference in productivity in this world. And I mean, there's a computer which is a manual, that's just shiny.
On the mobiles things are impressive too. The whole silicon based life just calls to me.

So I think most times you ask you'd get HW, though there are times when the reply you'd get is AWAl.

I voted for WD because it is just so powerful. I know, they all are, but this just tests everyones relationships with eachother. Kit saves Nita (sorta) and Dairine has to trust Nita with her mothers life (due to her power status) and although Betty does die, she goes out saving all of them (in a way). Plus, we get to meet Pont, Pralaya (another trust test), Kkirl, the Transcendent Pig, and Ponch discovers his 'finding' powers. I just think it's pretty cool.
Of course, SYWTBAW has the introduction to EVERYTHING; DW come on,It's the OCEAN!!; HW real computer wizards!; AWA Ireland and Ronan!!; AWD I've already explained; AWA some much hope and determination, and self sacrifice; WH Keks and the LP on our side?;W@W must you ask?
I absolutely ADORE all of them!!! oh, I can't wait till AWOM, can you?

I voted A Wizard Alone. For me this was a very hard question to answer, I love all the books! I almost voted W@W because I like all the action. I really like HW, because all of the high-tech stuff. For about five minutes I stared at the computer screen before finally voting. It was so hard! It has also been awhile sense I read the books, so I kept having to try to remember what was in what book! It was so cool to see what books other people like.

I voted Deep Wizardry, because out of all the books this one kinda has some sentimental value for me. It was back when I used to go to the beach all the time. But thinking about it, I really could've voted for almost any of the other books. The mobiles from HW are great! (I was thrilled to meet up was Gigo again in W@W.) And the Transcendent Pig in WD... X3 Really, it would take ages to list all the things that are "great!"

My vote was absolutely W@W because every book DD writes gets better and more complicated. Each book is unique and you absolutely need to read all of them to understand the entire W@W but it was still the best.(In my opinion) This is only because it uses ALL of the previously introduced characters and adds more. It added suspense and it was very much so a page-turner. All of these books were good, like so many people before me have said.

I havent read AWOM yet but I know its going to be good
*mind translator* "no duh"
