Title: A book to read while waiting for the next Harry Potter?
Review: Like many others, I've been looking for something to read while I wait for the next installment in the Harry Potter series. "Wizard's Hall" came highly recommended, but I must admit I was horribly disappointed. I'm VERY glad I only borrowed it from the library, instead of buying it. While I rather appreciated the poetic writing style, the book itself was downright BORING. I was over halfway through the book before anything remotely exciting started to happen. The story doesn't seem to flow very well, and I found the descriptions of the characters and places quite shallow and choppy. Not a horribe book, but certainly not worth the time spent reading it. Try Diana Duane's "So You Want to be a Wizard" for a good wizarding book or "Little White Horse" by Elizabeth Goudge for a slower-paced story with a wonderfully poetic writing style.
