This book terrified me when I read it at Primary School. The ending is horrible and has emotionally scarred me to this day.

 The thing about this book is that it ended before even starting, just when things were moving, I found myself turning the last page. and also, the characters felt flat, there were three friends promissing each other loyalty, then one of them becomes unheard of in the very first chapters. Jill wasn't that present neither and I foud David to be a real pain in the a**.
I don't know if it's because it's a children book meant only for children or me missing out on something, wondering...

Petit roman assez marrant du fait que l'histoire possède énormément de ressemblances avec Harry Potter, mais a été écrit et publié avant celui-ci. De quoi questionner l'originalité de JK Rowling!

A fun kid's book from an Author I very much enjoyed as a teen. A 12 year old gets sent to a strange boarding school staffed by a vampire amongst other supernatural creatures. A fun story with good writing from a strong author.

Ojalá hubiera leído este libro a la misma edad que Harry Potter, creo que lo hubiera disfrutado mil veces más, me hubiera encantado crecer con esta historia, pero aunque llegó más tarde a mi vida lectora creo que es una joya que debe estar en las bibliotecas de los libros, es totalmente más oscuro es fantástico.

Sé que hay una segunda parte y he leído cosas negativas de ella, pero dudes les juro que una serie de libros de la granja groosham es algo con lo que necesitabamos crecer.

I started the book with no expectations but I really enjoyed it ! I, of course, saw a lot of people saying it reminded them of Harry Potter and its universe, but I don't really understand why. Yes, it does deal with the wizarding world, but nothing is treated the same way, and the writing is very different, yet original and very enjoyable to me. I liked the humor. Plus it's a very quick read, totally worth it !
