I wonder if I can find it on the darknet ...
I really tried to fend off the potter mania that gripped those around me, until I succumbed (succame?) and read the first one (I always start at the beginning).
It is a gripping and fun read. At least it was at the beginning. The last few were so dark and sad and confusing, I pretty much just read them because I had to find out how it ends.
But at the beginning I marvelled at the amount of detail Rowling put into the descriptions, how everything was thought-through, and how close to reality it actually was.
Anyhow ... you can't say a book sucks when you haven't read it.
