Title: Boring
Review: This book has some magic, some characters that are moderately interesting, and very vaguely--a plot. But in my many years of reading, it is plainly the most boring book I have ever read. That list of boring books includes many of the so-called classics we were forced to read in grade school. I kept trying. I got three-fourths of the way through when I gave up. The footnotes did not bother me too much, I have seen that happen in some very good textbooks and classics. It was just that nothing much happened. There would be something happened and some 100 pages of nothing much. Just a lot of "explanatory" text. I am sorry, because I wanted it to be good. Even the characters were boring. Mr. Strange was somewhat interesting, but that did not help much. As far as I am concerned, it could have been half as long, and been a much better book. If you enjoy long expositions of society and life and how magic is not around, then you will enjoy the book. Otherwise, skip it.
