You're being too nice to Potter. He sucks!I read some of the Potter books when I was younger. They are well written and crafted for the target audience. I enjoyed SilverFin more than I thought I would, and recommend it (if merely to see how it compares to the other novels) to Bond fans.

I liked SilverFin. Expect I'll like the second book even more.

I've never read a Potter book, and I found the first movie interminably dull.
Same here. No interest in Potter. Not really sure where I stand on Young Bond. Quite enjoyed "Silverfin" as a curio, but then again it certainly isn't a worthy prequel to the works of Fleming in my eyes (I won't be putting it and its sequels before "Casino Royale" and the other Flemings on my bookshelf; in fact, I'm not sure I'll even bother with any more Higson Young Bond books). Still, I'm not particularly into the continuation novels - I only like "Colonel Sun" and a couple of the Bensons.

My boys like James Bond.
(This isn't a song, by the way)
They haven't expressed any interest in Young Bond, though. I'm still the only person in our house to have read it. Just guess it isn't their thing.

I haven't read Young Bond yet (Just gonna wait for the US release), so it's unfair for me to comment on it at this point.
