This book received lavish praise from JK Rowling. I didn't find it quite that compelling or complex.

this is a book that I had to read, it is written in the first person, about a young boy who is thrown into a world he never would have belived exsisted. one in a series of many books, that can sometimes cause a chill to run up your spine.

Great book. I have read all 12 books in the series & Im sorry it ended!! Very compelling and suspenseful, often surprising. It is a "young adult" book, but still very good for us "adults" Quick read. 5 stars!!

after reading Book 1 , i was hooked and had to order all the others in this series. i enjoyed all of them. I was surprised by events in Book 12. IMO this series is worth the read and these books are on my Keeper Shelf..

I found this to be childish and a foolish tale. It is the start of a series and I have absolutely no desire to read any further.
