Books & Authors - July 2007

I think that the next book J.K. Rowling does should be abut the founders of Hogwarts and their story.

I thought the first half was pretty boring, and the rest was kind of contrived. It was really dumb where the last horcrux was hidden, and the answers to a lot of the secrets seemed insubstantial. Also the "charm" that filled the first 4 seemed to be gone. Rowling also doesn't seem to do a very good job with fight scenes The book had a lot of them, and I didn't think they were well written. But mostly I didn't like it because the plot seemed contrived, didn't anybody else notice this? Why does everybody like it so much? In my opinion, the first 4 were much better.

K think back to your favorites, what book should be added to every kid's collection of books they own? If you want tell me why you chose that one (like if it teaches a moral lesson or something).

I choose the poetry collection "A light in the Attic" by Shel Silverstein, and Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister.

Here is the first paragraph


In every darkened corner, in every terrifying dream, in every movement he made, Noah Gifford new that he was trapped in a world of unfriendly coldness. The face he saw this time was different. The head on which it appeared was severed off from a deformed, mangled body which was hanging from an old oak tree, like a limp still born child. Flesh wounds were screaming with unsightly blood. The one and only thing that stood out the most to Noah was that the eyes were gouged from the head which was swinging back and forth from a rope that was tied to a single tree branch. What Noah did not know, was that the dismantled figure he was looking at…wasn’t really there.

Tell me if i should finish the book.

My question is: what book does the Yuzhang Vong invasion start in and what book does it end in? I'm trying to avoid those books and the ones in between, if possible. I'm up to the Lost Ones in the Young Jedi Knights.

I have been studying and reading about the Old Republic for the past year or so, and have recently begun branching out to the New Republic. I had read a book that talked about the Yuzhang Vong (spelling is wrong), and I thought they were so disgusting that I haven't read a book past the Galactic Civil War until now.

Your help is appreciated!

I want to preorder a book [Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer], but I found out if I order it online I'll have to wait until the twentieth to get it, and it's released on the seventh! So could I go into Borders, or call them, and order it, and come pick it up on the seventh? Is it okay just to call or would I have to actually go? Because I'm worried if I don't have a copy ordered I won't get one. Ahh. Help?!

What viable positive effects, if any, do you think chick lit brings to society?

It seems that many of them focus on themes of jealousy, materialism, poor self image (without positive solutions).

Examples are:

The Clique series
"The A List"

This has been bugging me...When Kreacher was telling his story about how he went with Regulus into the cave with the locket horcrux, he said Regulus drank the potion (before, when Kreacher and Voldemort went into the cave, Kreacher mentioned that Voldemort put more potion into the bowl holding the locket), but Kreacher didn't have extra potion to but back in the bowl. How is it then, in book 6, there is potion in the bowl for Dumbledore to drink?

"For the word 'We' must never be spoken, save by one's choice and as a second thought."

I need help understanding this quote from her book.

I understood the first part, but once "as a second thought" entered the sentence, it became a tad confusing.

Rowling is not completely clear that Voldemort cast the killing curse and that Harry cast his trademark disarming curse. I have searched Yahoo! Answers but can't find anyone with my theory:
I think H. cast the killing curse because he knew V. would be expecting the disarming curse - H. was cautioned earlier not to make that his trademark. AND V. was loosing confidence that the killing curse would even work on H. - it failed twice before!
I know the paragraph after the curses were cast says that V.'s green jet came from his wand, but it was never clear that only the killing curse was a green jet.
At the beginning of the 4 page dialog between H. and V., H. quotes the prophesy and declares that V. will be the one who dies - to me, that means H. fulling intended to use the killing curse.
V. may not have been convinced that H. was the true master of the Elder wand, but by disarming H. first, it would certainly have ensured him as the master, THEN the killing curse would work.
Theories?...
