Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke (0 more)
One of my childhood favorites that has withstood the test of time. This film captures the magic of childhood and is so much fun to experience. Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke do an incredible job with these characters and are mesmerizing performers. While the film and book are completely different, the movie is a delight and still one of my all-time favorites.
  
This wasnt as enjoyable for me as other books by the author have been. I liked her sass and that her magic was almost as good, if not sometimes better than those in the Order but the investigation almost bored me to tears at times. The thing she has going with Rafe has me interested and i love her cat, Brutus, but I'm not sure I'll be continuing the series.

"This is a kind of Alice In Wonderland premise: A man is looking for a cat. Murakami describes these banal domestic experiences, but, cumulatively, he spins an outrageous, trippy story. That's a kind of magic — to make the magical seem ordinary and vice versa. It's such a tender story, his search for the cat and, by extension, a life. That one task leads him on a labyrinthine journey."
