Comments on: Bound proof in Lugano http://www.mgharris.net/2007/08/17/bound-proof-in-lugano/ Website of MG Harris, author of 'The Joshua Files' children's adventure book series Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:02:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: MG http://www.mgharris.net/2007/08/17/bound-proof-in-lugano/#comment-68 MG Sat, 18 Aug 2007 09:04:00 +0000 http://www.mgharris.net/?p=117#comment-68 Thanks Chu!<br/><br/>I read Harry Potter 7 in a little over a day and was thoroughly gripped. I thought it an excellent ending to the saga, emotionally satisfying and full of nicely adult resonances that I thought were pitched at just the right level, for example, the complicity of the Ministry of Magic in Voldemort's rise, the 'race' issue, even Dumbledore's own ultimately questionable motives behind his nuturing of Harry. But most of all I loved the resolution of the Snape issue. I didn't see that coming at all! Thanks Chu!

Did you like it? (only two of my friends here in São Paulo read it, and the ones who haven't read it yet forbade me to make any comments. So my head is almost exploding because I can't talk much here about the book. "Sad") Congrats on “The Joshua Files” proofs! :-)

I actually read it almost all the way through right away, but not in order, to check some new bits that I'd written in the latest draft. It was strange to read it in non-manuscript form. Much more fun, even for me! It felt like a book someone else had written, which was actually a big relief for some reason. As for signing up in Newcastle, if I'm asked I will, of course. I've never been to Newcastle. I'm sure I've got a sleeveless T-shirt in case it gets cold. I don't want to look like a soft southerner. Thanks very much, R1X and esruel!

Does it feel like you've written it? Has it hit you yet?<br/>It's so exciting. I'm glad I know nothing about Invisible City, so it's all fresh when it hits the shops.<br/>Hey, you better do a book-sign in Newcastle, Maria - we're very educated, you know! :-) I bet you keep looking at the book, and keep opening it?

Fingers crossed that it’s a good read then!
