slow-paced

I struggled more with reading this compared to Adichie's other work. Most likely because the main character is so unlikeable? Not sure if the opinions in the book is simply a part of the character or Adichie's own, cause there are moments of anti-semitism and also anti-black statements...

I don't remember a single word of what I've just read. I remember liking some parts, mainly the beginning and the end, but in the middle, it's all just a blur of names.

The second part was really good, but the excitement ended so quickly, it felt really unsatisfying.

The romance was ..... surprising, but other than that, this was a good and fast-paced read

This book is a physical embodiment of a really great hug ❤
informative inspiring medium-paced

Med unntak av setningen "schizofrene som oppfører seg rart" syntes jeg denne boken er utrolig godt skrevet og lagt fram. God kombinasjon av eksperimenter, hverdagseksempler og ren anatomisk vitenskap.

Hagrid, Hermione and the Weasleys bringing joy to my heart. Could've read this repeatedly if I didn't have to suffer through Lockhart's scenes 

Re-reading this series, I'm trying it be open towards 'the redemption arcs' of Snape and Malfoy. This is only the second book but it does not help their cases
