Definitely a good pick

This was a wonderfully smooth read. Though it wasn't particularly astonishing, I enoyed it and the rest in the series quite a lot. This is Fantasy/Magic but everybody will be able to enjoy and understand it. I defintely recommend this book - and the rest. It may not become your favourite, but it will earn a spot on your bookshelf.

Is Charlie Bone, not Harry Potter
|
|
When I brought this book at my school library book fair, and read the description, I thought, "Oh, is just a copy of Harry Potter." Well, since my curiosity took me, I brought it anyway. So now after lefting the book in the bookshelve for an year, I finally read the book and thought, "Hey this is nothing like Harry Potter!" This book is like, completely different from Harry Potter; although Charlie Bone did go to a different school after discovering that he can hear people's thought through pictures. In this book, Charlie goes through advantures discovering mysterious that beholds inside a inventures case, that's remain locked. Charlie and friends finds more clues while he attends to Bloors Academy for the genius'. So this book is basically a different story from any other story that I have read. I don't know know why they always put Harry Potter next to it, but it just doesn't have anything to do with Harry Potter, I mean, the whole theme is different, and Charlie is not a wizard, as far as I know. So I do recommend you guys this book. I rated this book a five star 'cause it is a good book afterall. Though I would say Harry Potter is a better series. But do read Charlie Bones advanture!

Brilliant and original!

How clever! How daring! The plot: an awkward, messy-haired British orphan in the care of his evil relatives discovers that he has magical powers, and is sent off to a special boarding school for other kids with magical powers, where he and his new friends get into all sorts of wacky misadventures while battling the forces of evil. Isn't that genius? Finally, somebody came up with an original idea.

Harry Potter Knock ON
|
|
My first impression was that Midnight for Charlie Bone was a cross between Harry Potter and some Roald Dahl books (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, etc...) - which any good British author ought to be familiar with :-). In addition, MFCB seemed somewhat simple. As I realized, however, that the book was geared towards a younger audience than Harry Potter, its enchanments began to surface. The story is very imaginative and if a few bits are borrowed here and there, I am willing to overlook them for pure enjoyment of the read!
