There I’ve said it.

Don’t we all feel better now.

2.5/5

I think I have mentioned on my blog before that I am not a massive fan of book continuations after the original author has died.

And Another Thing is no exception.

2.5/5

When I last read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix way back in 2003, I wasn’t much of a fan of it. I always counted it as my least favourite of the series and I think it’s going to stay there.

It just really irritated me and I thought Harry spent the novel being a whiny little bitch. I’ve revised my opinion somewhat. I now think that Harry was entitled to be as whiny as he is it’s just that Rowling isn’t a good enough author to make me feel any sympathy for him.

Oh, I love the covers for this series, they’re awesome. If I enjoy reading the rest of the series from the library I might be tempted to buy them for myself. They’d look really pretty on my bookshelf.

3.5/5

Way back in the misty depths of time, you know in the year 2000, when I was fourteen years old, I read this 600+ page book in one sunny Saturday afternoon because why would I go outside when I can hide myself away reading?

My eyes would fall out of my head if I tried that now.

5/5

Copy received from Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

Wow. Just wow. I cannot praise this books highly enough.

And that’s coming from a person who was very sceptical about the series going into it.
