Read-A-Thon Mini-Review #5
It's very nearly the beginning of hour 10 and I've just finished my 5th book
The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling
Having since my first read of Rowling's Tales read the Brothers Grimm's original fairy tales I had a slightly different take on Rowling's this time around. I think she manages quite aptly to produce some stories that have the feel of ancient fairy tales with a cultural setting and context. I loved Dumbledore's comments and background info and overall it's just a great addition to the HP Universe.

Wow, I'm so impressed that you've already finished five books and are managing to do mini-reviews! I hope you're having a great time with the read-a-thon and enjoying the books you've read so far :) I've only read the main Harry Potter books, but this sounds like a lot of fun.
SvarSletI just know if I don't review them immediately I'll never get around to it :) I can definitely recommend the short follow up books Rowling has written for charity. They're quite fun :)
SletI hope you're having a great readathon :D
