I know, it’s pathetic that I’m mentioning it, at least it’s better the the trailers I put up some time ago.
There doesn’t seem to be any doubt that there are copy’s of the book available for reading and review. One of the big deals floating around is all of the links to torrent sites that have a .pdf, but that pdf is being debunked as fan-fiction, (5oo pages of fan fiction, thats just sad.) There is also argument about the “spoilers” that are listed in the NYT review (in my opinion, not a big deal, yes I do read a lot of the boards, they are entertaining, and by describing the hallow’s as they actually are, isn’t a big deal, to think that the readers could have figured out the meaning is stupid based on all of the other titles) and a supposed upload of the jim dale audio-book (unless it’s been updated) are all silly and almost all wrong.
I finaly found a review that actually has spoilers, at least for people who might have been curious and attentive, you can figure out a couple of them from this article I would guess, because, there is only one sword mentioned in the entire book, pleanty of axes, but only one sword.
Basicaly, I don’t know how many of you have ever read a book, my guess is most of you, but even if you knew the end of a book or series that you were atached to as the HP people are, you think that would keep you from reading the book? I can’t think of a single book that I have ever read where knowing the ending would have kept me from reading it, (or at least a single book I enjoyed) because reading is about the process of reading. Of turning off your real world self and sinking into the world that the author is creating and actually making yourself a part of the book rather than an outsider learning about other people.
Still, I don’t know if I’m gonna cave in and read the book before I hear the audio book. (60 friggen bucks!?! They are better than the books but not THAT much better) So I’m in a bit of a connundrum.
Do I meander down this week, as I pick up a couple new books for my entertainment, and include Harry Potter into the queue? I think it comes down to a basic question, do I think that the readers of AMA could tolerate this post about Harry Potter, a review of Harry Potter tomorrow, and then a sunday morning cartoon?
Thats a lot of lameness to ask ya’all to endure, still, I don’t know, I might get the book, and do it anyways.
