"I like this book for what it is trying to teach me. Very similar to mindfulness meditation, yet a bit repetitive. I hope to finish it so I can go on to the next one.

recommended for: anyone remotely interested in fantasy/serials
read in August, 2008
Laura said:
"Okay, I am such a sucker for serial reading. Rowling keeps getting darker all the time, but I still love it. Is it bad that I am also listening to a Potter book in the car under the guise of "child entertainment"?
