Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism
by Georgia Byng
I enjoyed this book less than I did when I read it before.
But, in fairness, I'm now a good.......10 years older than I was then, and not a kid, so that's probably a lot of that.
Actually, when I first went to rent this book from the library, I didn't realize it was fiction and thought I was renting an instructional book on hypnotism. I was pleasantly surprised to find a (very) fictional story instead.
And I specify very fictional because even in this book (let alone later in the series) the author quickly leaves behind realistic hypnosis for a more supernatural fare. Which is fine, of course. Though not ideal if you're looking for more realistic hypnosis. But at the same time it's maybe not the best idea to teach children hypnosis, either.
Honestly this book is pretty simple but, again, that's more or less expected from a book aimed at kids, and it does deliver some important messages. As well as being decently entertaining. Moreso when i was a kid then now.
Me back then was more along the lines of "Ooh, an adventure!"
Me now is more like "Oh god she's going to the most expensive hotel in New York with like $2000 to her name I'm gonna get hives." But such is a normal perspective gained from age, I hear.
Fun book, good read (moreso if you're a kid).
