A review by virginiacjacobs
The Books of Magic by Neil Gaiman

2.0

I picked up this book because I had read somewhere, that before the Harry Potter series was published, Neil Gaiman wrote this book about a boy with glasses who was guided through a magical world, and even had an owl. That's about where the similarities ended, but that's not why I'm giving this book two stars. Graphic novels don't really do much for me--I can't connect with the characters, and unlike picture books for kids, I usually don't find that the illustrations add much to the story.
