Why this book?:
Hello. Harry Potter. But I was also able to use it as a format I don't usually read for the Summer Reading Bingo.
Comments:
It's been awhile, so I don't remember all the details of the original Harry Potter books. The format took some adjusting, but after the first bit where it's glossing over years of events, I settled in. Much of the story touches on the gloom that can be "real life" where bad things happen, where people don't always understand each other, where prejudices still exist, and where your "good guys" and "bad guys" aren't always so clear cut. And it had a bit of the butterfly effect going on (not my favorite theme, but I guess it suited the story).
I haven't read any reviews (I've been rather scared to), so I don't know if people generally liked it or not. It sounds, from the quick bits I've heard IRL, like there have been mixed feelings. On the one hand, I was okay with the way it ended in book 7. On the other hand, I had no objection to discovering Rowling's tale of Albus's life (so very different than imagination might have had it). Overall, I enjoyed it.
