novel, tome, scroll, treatise, opus, publication, volume... question 2

What is the last book you finished? Did you like it? Why or why not?

For me, the last book I finished was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I read a lot over the summer and wanted to catch up on my Harry Potter. I enjoyed it, but not as much as Prisoner of Azkaban. I was originally hesitant to read the Harry Potter books, but picked up the first one when I was in Paris (over there it is the British version - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - something having to do with alchemy makes the meaning a bit different). I could not put it down. It is perfect guilty pleasure reading for me. I liked Goblet of Fire, especially at the end, because it seems like they are building to something really big. The other books more or less stood on their own, but this one seems to be the beginning of something more far reaching. I can't wait to get Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince!

The last good book I read was Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.I read it over the summer. It's a really good book. The only bad part is the end. I didn't like the end. Otherwise it is a good book.

The last book I read was Best friends for never. it is a book from the Cliqu sieries. I thought it was a VERY good book, I read all of it sunday! I was reading all day. Right now I am reading the next book in the novel! I have never read a Harry Potter book in my life and only saw the first movie. I do'nt like the Harry potter books, and do not plan on reading them! I think they are boring, and i just don't like them, no offense!

I read Charlie bone and the hidden king. It was really great. It was the end of the Charlie Bone series. The buildup to the climax was really good, but the whole wrap-up to all the missing strands went all to fast.
