Pros: Mad Eye Moody.
Cons: Needlessly long. Widely uneven tone.
Playing by the Rules Although plenty of pedants would argue that fantasy is, by definition, a literature of low quality, those who have actually read any of it know that, like all literatures, the quality of fantasy spreads across a wide ...

Pros: stronger characterization, greater peril, expanding the wizarding world...good book
Cons: SPEW and the Dursleys.
To commemorate my 700th review here at Epinions, I thought I’d write about a product that’s already been reviewed by 250 other people. It may be a waste of my time as far as income share is concerned, but that hasn’t stopped me before. Since the new ...

Pros: Plotting, characterization, humor, absolute creativity.
Cons: Shame on the editor who let all those grammatical errors slip by!!!
Okay. I admit it. I anxiously awaited "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" along with the 10 year-olds on my block. When it arrived on my doorstep, I unceremoniously ripped open the package and plunged in, anticipation tingling every nerve....

Pros: A turning point in the Harry Potter tales.
Cons: Movie won't be out until 2004. (Watch for new movie reviews at txreviews.com.)
Any thought that the fourth Harry Potter book would be just a mere continuation of the other three books of the series should be dispelled right off the bat. (Or, right off the wand, however you like.) First, its heft is a dead giveaway; the owl who...

by Redlass - Top 500, Aug 15 '00
Pros: Lots of Potter and his world
Cons: A little too much, and it gets very dark
Dear Diary,
I’m glad you have the stamp of approval from the Ministry of Magic. This diary writing business can be dangerous stuff-or at least, so J.K. Rowling warned us early in her series about that boy wonder wizard.
What? Oh...

Pros: wonderfully written, Rowling takes the reader into a more indepth picture of some of the characters and their pasts
Cons: a little long in length, a bit more darker than previous novels which may scare some kids
To my delight, the Fed-Ex deliveryman arrived at my doorstep on Saturday morning (thanks to Amazon.com) with my fourth Harry Potter book. I have been counting the days until my long-awaited delivery of a much-anticipated novel. All around the country,...

Pros: Great character development, wonderfully imaginative, lots of laughs as well as thrills.
Cons: Too much rehashing of previous books. Too many subplots. Way too long.
Once upon a time, in a hamlet far, far away, lived a gifted young writer struggling to raise her child on her own and wiling away the hours spinning tales on scraps of paper in cafés. Her fairy godmother (in the guise of the Scottish Arts Council)...
