Thomas King at his best. I do love snappy dialogue and you get that with Bird and Mimi.

Truth in a system designed to deny the truth. Powerful writing and a powerful story. This is gut wrenching.

Seeing as the movie JoJo Rabbit is so popular I thought I'd dive into the book it is based on.
I am assuming it will be very different.

Walking the dog down a street I haven't been down in a while and spotted a tiny little library. And yes I browsed the selection. They've thoughfully left stickers to add to any book you donate.

I listened to the audio book and it was well done. The author interview was a phone conversation which would have been better as a taped conversation. A great book.

Can't say I'd recommend this to anyone who isn't a diehard fan rabid for more HP stories. For me it reads like lukewarm FanFic.
