OMG! I am so sorry!! This book was brought up over in the Maze last week. They found it on someone's shelf and they were joking around about it. I put it on the list of chains as a joke for Jenny. I really didn't think it would be that bad. Sorry you ladies had to suffer thru that!


message 343: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 8054 comments Deanna, I couldn't even give it one star. I have read some clunkers this match, but that was the worst.

But, a bludger to the head? Really? Madame Hooch would yell at you.

Actually I was thinking a bludger to the head might be merciful if it could help you forget the book.
