Witches and Wizards

By James Patterson

Witches and Wizards is proof that not everyone can write young adult fiction. I generally enjoy James Patterson (except when he tries to write from a female perspective…it doesn’t work and has that narrator describing her breasts ick factor), but this book was just flat. It was a Harry Potter/Twilight knock-off that wasn’t anything but a knock-off. I set it down when I was almost done with it and had no desire to finish it. When I finally returned to it weeks later, I discovered that the ending had absolutely no resolution, just a lead-in to another book. Very disappointing.
