Sure, the story is cliche, and some parts are bad, but overall, it's just plain fun to read. There are some fairly obvious cues that this was written pre-Deathly Hallows(Larry Lovegood, etc.), and frankly, I actually LIKE some of the alternate interpretations of the characters, and even some of the O Cs. The concept alone was enough to get me laughing, to be quite honest, as some of the children in my family might have done exactly that had they opportunity.
