But as he gets into the groove, we realize that his story isn't just about magic, and it's definitely not just a fun romp. Sure, it can be read as a silly (mis)adventure, but it's also enjoyable for the adult reader, who aches for this orphan, and for the genie, and for most of the rest of the characters, too. Even the lawyer turns out to have redeeming qualities.
Fine work of literature for all ages. ( )
