Magic

My son wanted to do a book report about Harry Houdini, but he wasn't a big reader. He loved this book. It told all about him growing up and his family.

Good, yet sometimes confusing...

As most people know, Harry Houdini was one of the greatestmagicians and escape artists ever known. The author was pretty goodat telling his childhood story, yet sometimes it was confusing. Maybeit because I wasn't concentrating the whole time. Even though I didn't enjoy the whole book, I would still encourage people to read it.
