I’m not really sure why, but this book really didn’t grab my attention. The premise was good but I think the writing fell flat. While using the pictures was a great way to do something different, it was a stretch and felt too forced sometimes.

I had been curious about this book ever since the movie came out and I enjoyed it. There are some character and plot changes, but I think the movie is actually a decent adaptation and I would recommend one if you like the other.

Well it was a interesting book to say the least. I enjoyed it. There was a good amount of slow parts that made me want to put it down but when you get to the exicting parts you we’ll want to read more. The ending was good and a excellent way to begin the sequel. I loved the characters magical abilities and I would like to see more.
