      let me ask you this - even if it's not FOR kids - could I play it with my kids? Will the humor go over their heads?

        Definitely. The dialogue and the jokes are pretty easy to understand. What he's talking about is that the books start out with a simple plot, but then it evolves into this epic lord of the rings type saga.

        Your toddler probably couldn't solve the puzzles... but might be entertained watching you do it.

    that's what people say about Harry Potter. wtf? If it's good, what's the difference?
    
    I think Harry Potter is among the best Fantasy. I read all kinds, but Harry Potter has its own charm.

  Based on the Bone comics, i guess some people think highly of them.
