A review by absentminded_reader
The Curse of the Blue Figurine by John Bellairs

2.0

This was a difficult book to read. I stopped at 33%. The House with the Clock in Its Walls was so delightful. I enjoyed the writing, characters, and story. This book in comparison was dull and joyless. Johnny plodded through his days. He did this. He did that. Now he did this again. The narrative was perfunctory and literal, but not entertaining.
