This book was not remotely what I expected it to be. I knew almost nothing about it going in, and thought there was going to turn out to be some magical portal in the back of the bookshop somewhere, which lead to wonderful adventures. I was wrong.

In fact the magical in this book is pretty much non-existant by the end, but the story turns out to be so much fun that I didn't mind letting go of expectations and going along for the ride.
