Negative Positive
Title: very entertaining
Review: I didn't let myself read this book for the longest time. All the hype made me wary, but I finally picked it up so I could see what all the fuss was about. I'm 19 years old and absolutely love this book. I won't say that the idea behind the book is a new one - I've read several books where the main character is a kid who's discovered that there's something special about him/her and is going to a school where that specialness can be nutured (Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey comes to mind; it's also an excellent book, and I recommend it if you like this one). However, I like that kind of story, and J. K. Rowling's writing style is enjoyable to read. It's easy to see that she's got the details of her world figured out; it's makes rereading fun, because you can catch all sorts of things that you might've missed that she brings up later in the book or even later in the series.
Is the review positive or negative?
