OoTP isn't even TP

Finished the Harry Potter book. Didn't like it. Takes too long to come to the point, lots of unnecessary pages about how Harry feels: frustrated, fuming, various rants and raves - maybe he should have opened an L-J account. Yes, the ending is good like most of the books but that doesn't compensate for the first 600 snoozeworthy pages. What has this book done to take the story forward from HP IV ? IMO, the Goblet of Fire is the best of the lot so far.

i2 reaudit results are due to come out anytime. Fingers crossed. And the re-org is going to happen - I'm due for another change of boss. *sigh*

  2. I kind of liked the way the whole thing built up. No doubt about it, everybody was waiting for a showdown of sorts after GoF, but I found it really nice that JKR didn't go the predictable way.

    :-))

    "snoozeworthy" is a bit too harsh!

  3. Oh, ok. I didn't quite snooze through the first 600 pages, but she could really have pepped it up a bit more. Oh well, guess I expected too much from the book.

  4. Hey, I'm in Bangalore now. If nobody else is using OOTP, maybe I could borrow it from you??
