The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud

A highly recommended book by a close friend. Well it starts out well and has a steady rhythm, so i think I can safely say its a quick read. Was it good? was it worth my time and did i enjoy it ? barely !

I always loved the concept of a Genie, so it was in interesting ride, I some how felt the book lacked depth of characters. The plot was very predictable, also the writing monotonous. There was a feeling that discontinuous chapters had been introduced just to make the book long.

I'm half way .. through the second book .. so lets hope things get better :)
