It's well written... but I don't know... I'll never be able to accept Harry Bond...

Read the first few lines, then realised that I didn't want to be spoiled. I'll wait until its release.

It's a bit presumptious to call the book "Harry Bond" just because Harry Potter is popular. In actuality, what do the two characters have in common? They're young, and they attend school in England. That's really where the similarities end.

Are you planning on swiping up the book to read it, Aussie21?

I recommend this book for Bond fans to try out. Why give a strict opinion/idea before reading it?

That is what you're supposed to do with books, right? Read them?

yeah, no I meant the blatantly obvious capitalizing on Harry Mania...


I'm sure you're not surprised that I said that though.... I'm certainly not the first.



ANYWAY, lets not turn this into one of "those threads", so I won't say anything else about that...
