Read in February, 2008
I found this book at the dollor store, so it was good for what i paid for it. It was interesting but it did not keep my attention. I had to put it down and read something else for a while. The writer is just making lose comparisons between Christ and Harry Potter. Some of them are interesting, like Harry was in a coma for 3 days after an injury and of course Christ was reserected after 3 days. Anyway, worth the buck!!!

Gotta read this one for my Research & Humanities class...in case I ever work in an environment where there's a challenge on Harry freakin' Potter. Basically, the book points out that Harry Potter is so heavily based in Christian mythology & lore that folks who challenge it on that basis are pretty much outargued point by point.
