reading (The Amulet of Samarkand)
Maybe I'm just imagining it, but it seems a lot of books are written just to provide a salable plot for a Hollywood movie. To me, The Amulet of Samarkand was just that. A lot of the scenes played like movie scenes. Oh, wait, it's published by Miramax Books, so yeah, it's just out there to try to convince people to want a movie. I for one, do not want a movie.
It feels like an attempt to capitalize on the Harry Potter franchise. Not horrible exactly, but not worth reading a couple more books to reach the end of the arc.
