I am not disappointed that I picked this book up! I loved it and I cannot wait to see what happens next.

Grossman's imagery is eidetic! The vocabulary in this book is amazing and it challenged me, which I absolutely love!

I do wish there was a little more back story about the characters. It would be nice to know what makes Eliot, Josh and Janet tick! The only things that are similar to the Harry Potter series is that they take place in a magic school. Everything else does most certainly digress in a most enjoyable fashion.

I know this series is getting turned into a TV series on public TV. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I think that it would be better served as an HBO series or a movie series. If they get the right people to produce and write the script it should be good. I know I'll be watching. And looking forward to more books in the series!
