This is what may have happened if Lemony Snicket wrote Harry Potter. Evil people are absurdly, stereotypically evil, good adults are usually clueless, and usually behave in ways that are by no stretch of the imagination believable. That said, it wasnt bad. I wish the talent of listening to photos had been brought out more, rather than used to set up why Charlie went to Bloors, then pretty much abandoned. Still, I finished it, and if I happen to run across the sequel Ill probably read it, too. Children would probably be better inclined to disregard how actual humans behave, and enjoy it for the story.
