Query: Poor Harry Potter Rip-Off Seemingly Written By Grade-Schoole

I rarely have such poor things to say about a book, especially a children's book, but I must make an exception in this case. Do not invest your time and energy in this book. I've read the entire Harry Potter series twice with my eight year-old and the first book in the Charlie Bone series does not hold a candle to it. The character development is almost non-existent, giving the reader little concern as to whether the characters live or die. The writing style seems to be that of a young child, without a sense of rhythm or pace. I am perplexed as to how anybody could find this book worthwhile.
