it's a phenomenally awful book. like, so bad it hurts. deeply. i mean, her writing is awful. everything is super cheezy and unbelievable.
It's been sitting on a pile of CDs just waiting for me to read it. I've been putting it off because of my "bad" experience trying to reread Many Waters.
It's hard to believe shuch beloved children's book could suck so much. Then again, I've quit reading the Narnia books because I just couldn't take it. I hope that in 10 years I won't look on the HP books with the same "disgust" and shudder, although I fear I might.
*cluthes Susan Cooper* Her books are holding up to the test of time, though.
