Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Well, as someone who bought the book at Azkatraz, I can give this book an enthusiastic recommendation. The book is divided into Five Parts, each of which contains two thoughtful essays: Part One- Conversations on Literary Value, has "The Literary Value of the Harry Potter Books," by Colin Manlove, and "Repotting Harry Potter," by James. W. Thomas; Part Two-Conversations on Eternal Truth, has "The Deathly Hallows Epigraphs," by John Granger, and "God and Harry Potter at Yale," by Danielle Tumminio; Part Three -Conversations on Imagination, has "When Harry met Faerie," by Amy H. Sturgis, and " The Well-Ordered Mind," by Travis Prinzi;
Part Four-Conversations on Literary Criticism, has "Tom Riddle's Diary," by Ryan Kerr, and "If Rowling Says Dumbledore is Gay, Is He Gay?", by Karen Kebarle; Part Five -Conversations on Characters, has "Ginny Weasley: Girl Next-Doormat?" by Gwendolyn Limbach, and "Interpret Your Findings Correctly," by David Jones. I had never heard of Colin Manlove before, but I was greatly impressed by his essay, "The Literary Value of the Harry Potter Books." James Thomas was at Azkatraz, and his book "Repotting Harry Potter, " was just hot off the press there. My own interest tends to dovetail with the First Section, but I have read all the essays in the book, and they are all excellent. This is a great book to have for those times when you don't have a lot of time to read, but you want to spend it on something uplifting, that will give you food for thought. Congratulations, Travis, on your selection of essays and editing of this book!
