Review Detail

I first read this book as a child and just recently listened to it as a book on CD. As an adult, the wonder and magic of this story is just as present as when I was a child. In fact, it is more so as I understand more of the nuances of the story now than I did back then. I recommend this book for children of all ages (and adults, too), especially if you are just starting the series. I think that reading this book first helps you understand everything else that happens in the series much better.
