A review by hgranger
Charmed Life by Diana Wynne Jones
3.0
The book really deserves 3.5 stars. It’s cute, it has a good plot and some interesting characters, but it always bothers me to read about a protagonist who keeps making the wrong choice. Cat is too bland, too non-confrontational, and his choice of not speaking up when disaster strikes doesn’t make sense.
The obvious comparison to this book is HP, and while that series had a certain gripping magic from book one, I just couldn’t get worked up enough to care much about any of these characters.
