I can't help but wonder if he's trying to mooch off of JK's success. but who knows... maybe it'll be a book worth reading.

I bought the book yesterday at borders (dang that thing was expensive). I havn't read it yet but I'm aware of the basic plot line and it seems interesting, im guessing you have to know your history facts though.

Gosh.... Magic and wizards and such are just so darn popular now days. Sounds interesting. I'd like to read it. I love HP... So something along the lines of it, but more intense and "adult like" sounds great. | |

Sounds like a great book. I love history, magic and wizards so I'll try and find it at our local bookstore. Not that I expect they sell it around here. Hardly any fantasy books are sold here. Only HP and a few others. I guess I'll also check out amazon. hehe

- The book should be avaliable on Amazon or else in Waterstones.

I've been waiting to get my hands on a copy since it appeared in the papers two weeks back.....
So I dont' think she tryign to mooch JK's success. She infact was quoted saying that she promised not to read the Potter series until she finishes writing her own book......
