Yes you heard me right I said it was just OK. A lot of people get mad at me when I say it but to me she should have waited until Harry Potter finished. I did enjoy it though for the most part it was quiet a quick read and there wasn't a huge POINT to the whole book. And literature wise it sucked. If you want a real fantasy, read Lord of the Rings and the Dragonlance books those are good. But if you are the mild Narnia fantasy reader then you might like it.
