Harry Potter Và Đứa Trẻ Bị Nguyền Rủa: Phần Một Và Hai Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

A horror story, supposedly. I'd heard the Broadway songs. I think I even watched a (very boring) movie version, but I'd never read the original story. I still haven't, since my French is not that good, but I figure I've gotten the most of it. I probably wouldn't have bothered, if I hadn't read Charlotte Vale Allen's Night Magic, which uses Leroux's story as it's inspiration. The Classics edition begins with some information on Leroux. The book certainly reflects his journalistic background. And, as with today's urban legends, the author tries to establish the veracity of the story by couching the tale as a report based on letters, memoirs, and personal interviews. As with our own scary stories, it's the possibility of truth that magnifies the intensity of the fright. Of course, being the jaded people we are today, the book isn't really all that scary. For me, the distance of the tale kept me from being caught up in the telling. In most cases, the major motion is told through another person after the fact, either Christine telling Raoul what happened to her or the Persian's tale (which I found the most compelling portion of the story). The lack of Erik's perspective throughout was disappointing. Maybe it's my own morbid curiousity, but I wanted to "see" more of him. I want to try to understand him. Perhaps, I wanted to be able to pity him. This is probably why I liked the Persian's tale, since it did reveal Erik's story, though I still had questions. Erik strikes me as quite truly mad. A genius, able to function in the world he's taken over as his own, but insane. Pitiable, perhaps, in that he is finally willing to give up Christine. In so doing, he overcomes his "monster" self. In the end, all he wanted was someone to love him. That he doesn't find that makes the story sad, not scary.

My Thoughts: The novel wasn't perfect but I loved it nonetheless. By the second chapter I was missing Ethan dearly. He leaves a visible gap and I found Drink Deep to not be as funny as the others without the playful banter and generally upbeat mood. But Merit is the reason I keep coming back and it's great to see her as her own person again. She's going through so much emotional turmoil that you could only wish to someday be as strong as she is. Jonah has grown on me a little more now and I didn't realise how much I missed Morgan till he popped in for a visit. As for the main plot line, it was a little too obvious for my liking who the culprit was but the surprise outcome of it made up for that. If you're scared of reading this because of the ending of Hard Bitten, suck it up and you will not be disappointed. Chloe has always had a plan up her sleeve and you need to read this to find out what it is. Final Opinion: While not the best of the series, it kept me engrossed and totally happy by the end of it. This is one of those necessary novels that start the ball rolling in the lead up to the climax. The next novel looks to be a very thrilling adventure that I can't have soon enough. Rating: ★★★★★ It was awesome! First Lines: The wind was cool, the fall night crisp. A waxing moon hung lazily in the sky, so low it seemed close enough to touch. Or maybe it just seemed that way because I was perched nine stories in the air, atop a narrow metal grate that crowned Chicago’s Harold Washington Library. Favourite Quote: "How could it not have something to do with you? What else could be responsible for this?" "Global warming?" I suggested. "Have you recycled today?"
