ash_browns 's review for:
Quidditch Through the Ages
by Kennilworthy Whisp, J.K. Rowling
Glad to have checked this one off, finally! And I love that I managed to finish it right before starting The Goblet of Fire, with The Quidditch World Cup opening.
I set a goal this year to read all the HP universe books without taking too long of a break in between...as a "getting the full experience" kind of thing.
I admit that I did end up taking a short hiatus when some unexpected life craziness came up, so I picked up this as a quick book to poke in and out of when I had free time.
It worked perfectly for that- mostly because I found it difficult to read more than a few pages at a time. This really is meant to be a nonfiction book taken from the wizarding world, so I wasn't put off by it being a little dry.
There was quite a bit of clever humor interjected into the pages, which helped to lighten it up, and I enjoyed learning about the origins of the sport and everything else in between. I feel like I walked away from this read with a much better understanding of Quidditch and its fanfare in general. Even though I found myself painfully bored at times.
