click here.God, I loved this book. But there were some cons which couldn't be ignored.
First of all, the movie sucked badly. No wonder I never understood the movie even though I watched it many times. As I tried to watch the movie while reading this book, my face expressions were seriously like, "What the eff?" The movie didn't show The Quidditch world cup for instance! It was like, one of the most awaited and amazing part of the book. And so many things were really confusing and could be only understood byGod, I loved this book. But there were some cons which couldn't be ignored.

It was like, one of the most awaited and amazing part of the book. And so many things were really confusing and could be only understood by reading the book.
The things I didn't about this book:
1) J.K Rowing, full respect and admiration from me to you, you are an awesome writer, but I just felt weird throughout the whole book. I really, really wanted this book to have other people's point of view, not that I don't like Harry, but I really wanted to know what was happening with Hermione, especially with Krum, since I am girl with great expectation from Hermione when Yule Ball happened. And I was so disappointed and annoyed because I really wanted to know what Krum said to Hermoine in the end of the book.
2) A great point made by a reviewer. (Christopher Ferry)
Why did fake-Moody/Crouch Jr. set up this immensely complicated and low probability plan to get Harry to win the Triwizard Cup and be teleported to Voldemort when he was his trusted teacher the whole school year. He could have just made a pen be a portkey and then dropped it and said "Harry, could you pick that up for me?" Much easier than dealing with dragons, suborning house-elves, and casting outlawed curses.
3) The book was unnecessarily long. Seriously, I can just cut 100-150 pages from this book by removing all the scenes of Rita Skeeter's shit and house-elf's crying and Hermione's debating. J.K Rowling should have just focused on The Triwizard Tournament (which was by the way, awesome!) and on the last chapters. And Cedric's death, GOD! Either I am an obsessed fan of Cedric and was expecting more or that J.K Rowling is not that good in writing someone's death. I was even surprised at Crouch's death.
"I killed my father and then buried him" said Crouch's son."
... o.o ... o.O ... -_-
I mean come-on! He was in this book for a pretty long time and just telling this and then going on to the next chapter was just weird.
Besides all the things I mentioned above, I found this book really good, exciting and now I want to find out what happens in the end even more eagerly! The last 100 pages were indeed awesome and I will rate this book 3.5/5 stars.
And yeah, how can I ever forget. :) *evil grin*
THE HOTTIES! KRUM! CEDRIC! I love you both. Krum, you better be in the next book. And Cedric, why did you die?! =( I really loved you.
