[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 475059, member: 136"]I have never been a fan of fantasy fiction, but this series was one that I really didn't mind reading to my son. There was just something about Alexander's style that made them (almost...) a pleasure for me, and my son did indeed find them magical. When my son was in 2nd grade, the first of the [I]Harry Potter[/I] books came out. He heard about it and was SO looking forward to reading it. Halfway thru, he said, "That woman sure is verbose, isn't she?" (Yeah... he has always had quite a vocabulary!) Anyway, for me, that showed one of the things that made Alexander stand out: he had a way of creating a fantasy world and getting his story - and message - across, without a ton of "excess verbosity".[/QUOTE]
