I too purchased Harry Potter 5 on Saturday. I'm about half way through....I don't seem to have the enthusiasm for it this time round...it is a big book, but quite repetitive.
I read "The Wee Free Men" by Terry Pratchett last week. Like "Maurice and His Educated Rodents" it is aimed at the "Harry Potter" market, I found it to be charming, funny and thoroughly engaging. I really like the sly sense of humour that comes through.
Still on with Tolkien of course, I am re-reading the Unfinished Tales.
