So, I loved this.

I read a few reviews on GR that seemed disappointed that there were no wizards, but I thought it was delightful. Had I not known that J.K. Rowling wrote it, I never would have guessed but since I went in with that knowledge, I did immediately notice her wit and wonderfully written characters. Other than that it was a complete departure from the world of wizarding and I think she did a fantastic job.

This is a great "cuddle under the blankets" book and if you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it!

I enjoyed this one too. I did find myself more invested in the characters than the plot (if that even makes any sense) but it was good.

I bought it months ago. I need to move it to the top of my pile. So many books, so little time...

Same here. It has been sitting on my Nook for quite some time.

These are the first positive comments I've heard about it. I'm glad it was enjoyable once you get past the whole "there are no kid wizards" thing.

I started it and was mildly interested but my library loan expired and the waiting list is still long so I haven't finished yet.
