Someday I'll look back at this book and think, We'll, this played a great role in my decision to work on children's literature.

Having adored the film for many years, it was about time I read the book. I loved it! Can’t wait to read the rest!

Read this for the fantasy group!

Anyway, I thought thsi book was very good but not perfect. The characters motivations were, for me, often a bit hard to understand and the characters acted erratically. I didn't understand why the girl fell for the boy in the end. It seemed unrealistic to me as their personalities didn't mesh well and they never seemed to have any fun together. Overall the style was amusing but never funny. I'd recommend it, but not heartily, and I'd recommend the movie over this.
