Meh, I didn't like the 2nd one as much, I forget the title, (After the Chocolate War?) but I wanted to kill Archie at the end of it. The first one was great and real psychological

oddly enough, I haven't actually read the new Harry Potter book Sad

Notes that I also have a couple chapters (a few hundred pages too many) to read for a midterm that starts in only a few hours :paranoid:

The author’s life has changed significantly because of those books.  That and the story is now rolling, which allows for a more interesting story. IMHO

yea i can't imagine her finishing it in the next book. especially being that she said they weren't going to get any bigger than number 5.

i'm addicted and don't care, but after the immediate withdrawal i went through after reading 6, i'm patient..
