Harry Potter

After much consideration and flip-flopping views I have decided that I'm feeling very warm towards the new Potter book, much better than number 5 and one of the best in the series. There are flaws, but none of her books so far have been flawless... however... let's just say, I enjoyed it immensely. Not as instantly lovable as 4, darker and more complicated than 3. In the book where Dumbledore becomes an interesting and sympathetic character (for me, anyway) he dies...

And Harry has a wet dream! (Eurgh.) I swear he does... if you, dear imaginary reader, do not believe me, then read the book again and find Rowling's subtle but unavoidable hint. She's good at dropping teenage stuff in there so that little kids won't get it.
