It wasn't the story per se - I didn't get far enough in for that to be an advantage or a disadvantage. Nor was I concerned about the use of the characters. It was just the execution. It was flowing along well enough, and then it became crude and clumsy in an instant and failed to recover quickly enough to hold my interest.
For me, poor execution will kill even the best of narratives.
that makes sense, that was clumsy - i skimmed past till the thread picked up agian, i don't remember it being that long, but I am generally forgiving as a reader. It was overall interesting :)
I gave it another go and liked it much better after I got over the inappropriate use of the verb "to fist". I thought it was perfectly in Hermione's character - cold, calculating, efficient.
Have just returned from seeing the Chemical Brothers (yay!). Couldn't see them much, it was all about the music and the crazy computer-generated video stuff. And laser-art. Lots of fun.
Anyway, the very first video clip featured lots of cartoon-style fists waving in the air. I think it was intended in a political-demonstration kind of way, but as I had recently read this I may have initially misinterpreted.
I'm glad you had a great time!! The vids and stuff sound very very cool ;) I'm not familiar with the Chemical Brothers style however, save the remix they did of 'Slow' by Kylie Minogue :)
