Hey peeps!
I'm back from my holidays in Orlando Florida and survived my first few days of my new school!
I read a lot of books during my summer and one of them was the eight Harry Potter book. So, enjoy my review!
It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.
While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places. (source: goodreads)
Tbh I'm a bit disappointed. I had such high expectations for this book but in comparison with the first seven HP books, this one was just boring.
The story started pretty good. It was interesting to read a book as a script, but it already began in the Hogwarts Express scene, that I started liking the book less. Why was Rose such a bitch? Like, Hermione as her mother wouldn't raise (or allow) her to be one. And throughout the whole book I didn't get why Albus disliked his father so much. Harry didn't do anything wrong in the beginning and Albus was still mad at him. At least Scorpius was pretty nice. But why were there no other characters introduced than Rose, Albus and Scorpius?! Like in the original HP books you had of course the golden trio but you also had Neville, Luna, Malfoy, that kid that blowed everything up and, and, and. But here, nothing.
The "adventure" Harry and Scorpius later had was pretty unsensational. Like, it was okay but I wasn't really at the edge of my nerves or anything like that. My heart rate must have stayed the same.
What I really liked about the whole story was, that Albus and Scorpius are kinda gay with each other which I love. I love my gay otp's (Malec, Destiel I'm looking at you here).
So all in all I think you can read the book just bc it's an "Harry Potter" book but it's not necessary. It wasn't really worth it.Love,
I was disappointed as well and I thought some of the characters were behaving rather strangely and in unfamiliar ways, that bothered me a lot.
ReplyDeleteYes thank you! I'm not the only one XD

ReplyDeleteHello Nadia:
I thought you'd might enjoy a free advanced release e-copy of the brand new sci-fi fantasy comedy 11,984. This is not a conventional novel. It contains a lot of creative innovations, including punctuation from the future.
Thousands of years in the future, humanity has finally eradicated war, poverty, and all forms of human suffering. With no problems or unanswered questions remaining in the world, everyone is bored out of their minds, that is until the sun starts putting on a light show, the first warning sign it's getting ready to supernova!
Our heroes from the year 11,984 are your typical family of two mothers, three fathers, a couple of kids, and plenty of robots. Fun-loving Troll, so called because of her giant troll doll hair(They don't have names in the future, or wear clothes) is the world's leading hydrologist/interior decorator, whose plans to retire quickly change when faced with the drought to end all droughts. Bulb, bald head glowing like a lightbulb, is the cranky Minister of Rational Thought. His faith in science is tested by the total collapse of society. Last but not least is Litterbot, the clumsy garbagebot who gets no respect, and whose highest priority--to clean--is frustrated by a world without messes.
As the family works on building an escape spaceship, the sun bombards them in changing colors, which unbeknownst to them causes radiation insanity. The sky colors keep growing stronger, and these totally peaceful people are at each other's throats. It gets so bad their bodies mutate (which helps them work faster) and world computer crashes (forcing them to read primitive paper books, and rely more on Litterbot.) Will they launch before getting smashed to pieces?
My first humor novel, Foxavier and Plinka, was published in 2013, and is also available.
May I email the complete 11,984 manuscript of 75,000 words?
Thank you.
