I know what you mean, Nabs, because I have SUCH high expectations, and I'm still feeling a little disappointed by this effort of hers. It's as if she's set out to write a boring book.... maybe I just don't feel connected to all the married people, or all the Britishness? but the one part JKR does do well...

SPOILER!!: don't click this unless you're past idk, page 120

SPOILER!!: don't click this unless you're past idk, page 120 ...is the part about Krystal Wheedon, and the Fields. She captures their accents SO well, still, it reminds me a bit of Hagrid. But I'll pass on the others. I am ridiculously bored by Samantha and Miles and Howard and Fats (I hate that kid); Shirley is somewhat amusing, with her Hospital Volunteering that is Oh So Important It Is Like a Royal Visit; and I like Andrew and Sukhvinder (sp?? I was almost crying when she was cutting); but the rest of the adults just make me.... sad. And bored. They also make me never want to grow up to be a middle-aged, married adult with teenaged children. GOOD LORD NO. __________________ yeah, there's one thing about me that you should know________________________________ __________________________________________that I can't help from speaking my mind
