I have conflicted feelings about J.K.Rowling these days, and I am sure this changes my reaction to her writing. One thing is that this book needed a sterner editor. It is far too long, too flaccid for a thriller. But what I really notice is her descriptions of characters is unnecessarily unkind, manipulating an unjustified revulsion in the reader. The plot is ok, if over the top in terms of the conspiracies and how far they go, as well as the sadism of bad guys.
