Charming Story...5
I read this book because I enjoyed the movie a lot. The book, while quite different, was an enjoyable one to read. This particular edition has the first 3 books in the series. The first book was okay... but the second two are much better. In particular, the author's writing improves drastically after the first, which is littered with exclamation points!! As for a comparison, the book reminds me of a blend between Series of Unfortunate Events, Harry Potter, and a touch of kid-version Stephen King. Easy to read and enjoyable.
