Great suspense

Well written.

Well written.

I don‘t understand how this guy is a best selling author. The writing is basic, cliche, cheesy, and grossly sexist. After reading the second book I am completely turned off from the series.

Certainly not a masterpiece, but moderately entertaining.

Fantastic! Well researched and reasoned.

Pain, anguish, and suffering in human life are always in proportion to the strength with which a man is endowed.

“Love, you see, as I understand it, is an unrelenting, absolute, whole sacrifice.”

Mostly a recap of what an avid reader might already know, but worth the read.

“What is expectation but a kind of folly, and what is that folly but and excess of hope.”

“You see, Monsieur the Cardinal, what a pity it would have been to separate persons who love one another as we do.”

“In this fallen world, even good men have demons in them.”

“Many of the components of the various draughts and libations that Harry creates for Snape exist (or were once believed to exist) and have (or were believed to have) the properties I gave them.”

Nice extra details to supplement the main story.

“Perhaps liking someone came down to finding something endearing about their obvious flaws.”

Interesting commentary on relational forgiveness and memory.

Introspective.

Simple and quick read - some good insights into the character.

After reading this book, Snape is my favorite character.

Interesting look at how we function in society and how different people choose to pursue happiness.
