That was a chewy book to read. First, it was hard to read the 1st half of it. Politics, slavery and racism (with all the terms that comes with it) and simply the stupidity of Scarlett. The 2nd half was way better.

On the bright side I learned a lot about American history. Because I didn't know a lot about the American Civil War I read about it before I continued with the book. I felt it's needed to follow the story, to understand when and where the things happened.

As a non-native speaker it was hard to read and understand the dialect the author gave the slaves in her book. Over time it got better, though.

A story full of thrill, action, wit and relationships. Enjoyed the dialogues a lot and totally fell in love with Scorpius.

Didn't expect to enjoy reading a playwright that much.

Reading the series again after 25 years made me realise how much I didn't get the first time and how much was altered for the movies.

From all books I liked "The Order of the Phoenix" the least. Not sure why but I thought it quite chewy to read through. Not as gripping or thrilling as the others.

Nonetheless, I love the series. Guess, I will read them again in 20+years or so ;).

and I am really curious about #8 now.

Read it 25 years ago and have to say that it hasn't lost it's magic.

Loved reading this book. A story about a middle-aged couple losing everything only to gain something even better.

Totally recommend to read it to find a sense of what is really important in life.

Can't wait to read her second book The Wild Silence.

Read the first chapters and I am hooked.
