Another great spot on review about the books of Harry Potter I remember when I couldn't wait to get back from overseas So I could get the first book for my Niece Then read it to her Of course she already had a well worn copy and read it to me

Wonderful presentation of the Cinderella man story. Fast paced and interesting like the fight - clear, unsentimental but not unfeeling. I am looking forward to more.
