01.May.2009 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
I finally finished the Potter series. Surge of sadness just came flooding after the last page because it has ended. It’s like leaving your good friends knowing that you may never see each other again. You can only occasionally revisit the good memories, but nothing further. No more adventure, no danger, no more secrets revealed. [...]
27.Apr.2009 The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling
The Tales of Beedle the Bard is a delightful tiny book! To tell you the truth, I had low expectation when I picked up the book (which was accidentally just sitting on the library shelf when I passed by), because there’s nothing could be near as good as Harry Potter coming from J.K. Rowling, am [...]
15.Mar.2009 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
“Greatness inspires envy, envy engenders spite, spite spawns lies.” ~Voldemort, p415 Ahh.. Harry Potter.. The 6th installment. This is the first book that I read before I watch the movie. I’d say, apart from the Goblet of Fire, the Half-Blood Prince is my favorite of the lot. Mostly because there are a lot of secrets [...]
21.Sep.2008 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling
FINALLY I finished the book. It took me a LOooOng while. First, the book is just really, really, thick. All 956 pages of it. It hardly fit in my bag and so I tended to not bring it everywhere like the other normal books. It was slow because I read it only at home, where [...]
10.Jun.2008 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
I said a while back that I was a bit put off by the thickness of the book before I started. But after a few chapters, the book didn’t seem so thick anymore. You know how when you read one book your mind often wander around thinking about another book? Well it didn’t happen when [...]
04.May.2008 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
Just finished the third Potter! I’m not gonna worry about spoilers in any of my HP reviews since I assume the whole world has known everything about it. I thought Rowling was very good at building up the climax. I went leisurely for about 3/4 of the book, then dashed through the last 1/4 in [...]
15.Apr.2008 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
Just finished the 2nd of Potter’s book a short while ago. Not gonna spend much time reviewing this. Again, like the first book it’s enjoyable reading. I found it slightly more boring though, because it spent almost a good half of a book re-introducing the characters and scenes, before something started to happen. I watched [...]
09.Mar.2008 Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling
Just finished the first Potter book today. Yeah I know, I’m probably years late reading it, but hey, better late than never right? Surprisingly (or not surprisingly) I really enjoyed it. Like most avid readers, I was a bit skeptical about the whole Potter’s phenomenon. Well, if anything, I think the book is really enjoyable, [...]
