I found this book very entertianing. I know all the talk about how it's a rip-off of Harry Potter etc but it contains all the elements that I loved about Harry Potter so I'm happy.

I really enjoyed the story and it was definitely action packed. I found myself getting tripped up, however, with the adverb heavy descriptors that accompanied so many of the "he said" and "she said". I found it to be distracting at times--not enough to turn me off or detract from the story, but just enough to throw me out of sync on occasion.
