Can't explain why, just doesn't grab me. But I'm thrilled to see people, especially kids, so excited about it. I pulled a very late-nighter one night recently, during a good book, and lordy did I pay for it the next day. Let's just say my employers did not get their money worth that day.Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12870986467688583203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-16659666319216231272007-07-30T07:09:00.000-07:002007-07-30T07:09:00.000-07:00Finished here.

(borrowing from a friend) I can't wait! I'll probably be incommunicado & incognito for a day or two until I get it done -- geez, but it's huge! Pass the pita bread, please, it's gonna be a loooooong night!Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05707246801058979473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-51574279770530543832007-07-26T10:32:00.000-07:002007-07-26T10:32:00.000-07:00Bonnie, it's a matter of "different strokes for different folks." It would be such a bore if we all liked the same things. Look at all the good stuff that would get left out.<BR/><BR/>Steph, remind me after all the hoopla dies down. It's just an idea that concerns the structure of the book. And I want to stress that I loved the book and have huge respect for what Rowling has accomplished.Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00640058997702227911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-9864607050208156072007-07-26T04:14:00.000-07:002007-07-26T04:14:00.000-07:00I read the book and would be interested in hearing what you think Rowling should have done to make the book better...Stephaniehttp://yaketyyak.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-12261699674078590092007-07-26T04:05:00.000-07:002007-07-26T04:05:00.000-07:00I read on another's blog that he was disappointed in the excess wordage so he skipped to the end. I just plain skipped any of the books as I know better than even try. Maybe I need audio books to stay awake.<BR/><BR/>I fell asleep in the first Potter movie so I guess I'm just the only non fan there is.:-)bbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-68589869702418899592007-07-25T22:36:00.000-07:002007-07-25T22:36:00.000-07:00Gee, John ... next time I do an all-night read, I'm going to do it with you! I'll bring a platter of pita chips.Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00640058997702227911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-88015719354653833922007-07-25T22:08:00.000-07:002007-07-25T22:08:00.000-07:00Now, let's see: An all-night read comes to 2 pots of coffee, a large tray of sausage rolls, and a heavily over-loaded fruit bowl. I stand fore-warned, Dee, and I shall be sure to be fore-armed. Looking forward to following your example!John Baileyhttp://oldgreypoet.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
