Don't know what all these people are on about -Haroun and the Sea of Stories- being boring. The action and imagination in this story is unbelievable. The book is so descriptive, I can almost imagine the color and action through the words. I loved every single part of this book and it had a very well defined beginning, middle and end. It was so good that I wanted to read more so I read it's follow-up, -Luka and the Fire of Life- which follows Haroun's brother Luka on another adventure just as fun and exciting. A must-read for people who love fantasy and clever humor.
