Saw the 6th of the Potter books the other day at Carrefour. It was cheap
RM79.90 (for the first two days) compared to MPH's price of RM99.90.
HOWEVER, Azmady and I decided to hold on on purchasing since we won't
have much time to read with li'l Azam Zikry around, anyway. The
thickness , I guess is nearly 4 inches.
However, the boss was asking me to go for a business trip which I know I
would have much free time without li'l one around. We ran to the nearest
Carrefour (which the price has increased by RM10.00) and got me a copy!!
I spent most of the time in the Business lounge reading.
By the end of the trip, I have finished 400 pages out of 600 something.
Not bad huh.. As any 'Arry Potter book, it started with all sort of
details and explanation about all the herbs they planted, creatures they
met, teachers they don't like etc etc. It is not by the 2/3 of the way
then the details start falling at the right places.
Professor Dumbledore briefed Harry a lot ( I mean A LOT) more than what
he has done accumulatively in the previous of five books. There was
this explanation on why Lord Voldermort was so mortal. Draco Malfoy was
also more than a mere cheeky classmate. Snape opps Professor Snape is
even more suspicious this time.
Ron and Hermione were also acting like the other seventeen teenagers.
There were also lots of smooching and kissing around. Guess the writer
was trying to attract both boys and girls attention to the plot.
It's 5.00 and I better go home to finish off the other 200 pages!
