Moments of cool/awesome/wow embedded in vague and boring prose.

Shelves: fantasy, quit-reading
This book started out with some promise, although it was such a familiar story. It sounds like the main character is yearning for Narnia and he falls into Hogworts by accident. I would have continued reading possibly if it were not for the language. The addition of coarse language took away from the whimsy of it all.
