(finished) tales of beedle the bard
Oct. 8th, 2013 12:20 amI'm trying to read (finish) a book a day, and I'm starting out easy with JK Rowling's Beedle the Bard. It was fun and quick! I'd avoided reading it way back but I really enjoyed it and the additional notes. It's fairly timely considering the announcement of the upcoming movie, too.
I enjoyed the notes quite a bit, and I liked how it deepened some canonical characters (I really want to know what versions of these fairy tales Draco Malfoy was being spoonfed, as well as the flipside of the Weasley brood...), but it was pretty overwhelmingly monocultural. So, it was good for what it was, and overall a little disappointing; not at all surprising but fairly delightful nevertheless.
Onward!
