I have a hold on it at the library but haven't gotten it yet. I plan to read it whenever it comes in.

Good to see you posting! How are you doing?

*HUGS*

Doing okay! I liked it but I seem to be in a minority.

*HUGS BACK*

None on the book (don't plan to read it) but lots on seeing your name pop up on my flist! <3

I might be the only person who really liked it and thought it was *very* Rowling-ish.

It's on my kindle but haven't read it yet. What is the state of the world coming to when THAT happens? So glad to see your face around here, pal. ♥

[miss_daizy]

Let me know when you do!

Not done with it yet, but so far, sort of dredgy and depressing. With that one really jarringly funny part about the guy that had the "apron of a stomach". Which, obviously, stands out in my mind, but doesn't really fit with the rest of the prose.

Um. No winningly endearing characters that I actually like yet.

Hhmm...I really am starting to question my own state of mind - I didn't really find it so much depressing as realistic, with uplifting bits. But then, I don't like people much and she skewers them gloriously :)

Hello you!!!! ♥

I think it's funny that I was not enthusiastic about reading this book at all, but I'm one of the first of my friends to finish it. To be honest, I nearly gave up on it because it starts so slowly, but I'm glad I didn't because I ended up enjoying it. It was really sad and I didn't always like some of the characters but I'm glad I read it and I found myself thinking about it long after I'd finished.

I re-read it almost immediately, despite the sadness. I actually thought it was very Rowling but that doesn't seem to be a common opinion so I might be projecting a bit :)
