This review is from: Barry Trotter and the Dead Horse (Gollancz Sf S.) (Hardcover)

This book is a rather funny parody of the Harry Potter series. While some of the language is not appropriate for persons under the age of 17, I found it very enjoyable. I would recommend this bool for anyone who likes Harry Potterand does not want a serious read with adults in mind.
