What. How could you have the capability to conceive of that, yet not want eagerly to read it?
- wisty 17y agoI should have said "or vice versa". JKR is better than Umberto Eco in some ways. You don't have to think much (you just know that most of the twists at the end will be some sucker-punch magical tricks that you never even heard of), and her early stuff was like Roald Dahl. I wouldn't read Harry Potter and The Name of the Pendulum unless I had a lot of time on my hands.
