Title: Kudos to the promoter, not the author
Review: I can quickly name five to ten other far superior children's fantasy series. Credit should go to the publisher and publicist for selling this book. The language is flat. The characters very predictable. Where's the tension, emotion? I was relieved to see the abridged version of this and the two sequels for sale on CD. Clearly this shows that people really don't enjoy reading these books and are too afraid to speak up. If they listen to the CD's they will know enough about the characters, plot,etc to converse with others so they don't seem so of the loop. Has Ms. Rowling ever developed a paragraph longer than 6 sentences? Perfect for today's short attention span.
Is the review positive or negative?
