I’m not done with this book yet, though I’m close.  Initial thoughts:

• Read it.  If you like fantasy at all – of the young adult non-epic variety – this is a book for you.
• I keep thinking “this is very much like Harry Potter” and then having to correct myself and switch that comparison around, given the date each work was written.
• There were a few pages I read last night that made me laugh out loud.  Guffaw, really.  It’s very rare that a book makes me burst out laughing.  That alone is a good reason to read this book.
• I suspect having read this one I will now have to read all the rest of her Chrestomanci books.

Now a question – has anyone read R. Scott Bakker’s Prince of Nothing series?
