I think that it's noticeable that the book in question does not have any educational values. I am noticing uncomplicated words in this forum being misspelled, used improperly, and so on. For example, a few misspelled words would be definately, (definitely) imagin, (imagine) chacters, (characters) and many more. I’m also seeing grammatical errors such as 'is' being used in place of 'am' and sentence fragments. My alternative to a book lacking educational values is music. Not only will making music teach you areas of math, it will also introduce you to different cultures of the past and present. I myself have the ability to play a variety of musical instruments, including the guitar, drums, trumpet, clarinet, saxophone, and more. Because of this, I am in the top 10 students of all my high school courses. My point in this thread is that there are many alternatives to a repulsive piece of literature.

No, Mr. Unknown, this book is not only targeted towards an adolescent, but mature audiences, as well. I shall quote the back book jacket of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, "You don't have to be a wizard or a kid to appreciate the spell cast by Harry Potter.â€쳌 proving that Harry Potter is also based towards a mature individual.

I agree with Kevin about how this book is not entertaining enough to satisfy my literal needs. But, what can I expect from a book that targets ages 9-12 when I am 20 years old, right?

Again, I have to agree with George Hogedingski. Please note that I spelled agree with one 'G' unlike Karen, who by spelling it with two, has shown the world her inferior intellect. Notice that I am also using complete sentences, contrasting Janet's literary usage. Which further proves my point that to enlightened people, the book in question bears no plot, no character development, and lacks a sufficient ending to satisfy my highly developed taste in literature.
