Book Reviews of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Collector's Edition (Offered Exclusively by Amazon)
Book Review: Fantastic presentation
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems like forever since the last Potter book came out and I have to admit I've been waiting and hoping that Jo Rowling will change her mind and continue the story, or at least write a spin off! Okay, so she's not quite done that, but at least we have a release that will go some way to quench the thirst of all of the Potterholics out there.
I have to say, it's the presentation that first strikes you. It's just about the most beautiful book I've ever seen and in my mind that makes it worth the fifty quid all by itself. Honestly, it's something that I'll treasure for years to come.
But what about the tales themselves? Well, what can i say? I must be honest, at first, I wasn't expecting too much. However, I'm eating humble pie now because there is real quality here. I would go so far as to say that this is some of the finest writing that we've seen from Rowling. There is a real darkness to these tales that we perhaps haven't seen in the world of Disney faiytales that we've had to suffer. In fact I would say that there is enough here to rival the great Brothers Grimm...well, maybe anyway. I guess I'll let you be judge of that as I'm still too excited after having whizzed through the book!
