*** SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 *** FIRST AUDIOBOOK HEARING *** i was much more drawn in to the narrative this time around. i'm not as hard on rowling. while i think my initial criticisms are fair (and, as you'll see in my Deathly Hallows review i still wish certain elements had been introduced eariler in the series for optimal psychological prep and narrative cohesion), this time i was struck by how carefully rowling was crafting her character psychologies. severus snape is one of the best, most complex, most puzzling and worthwhile characters in fiction i've ever confronted. he's a fantastic mass of contradictions that WORK. really, rowling's mind is a very, very interesting place. NOTE ON THE NARRATION: i have already mentioned how AMAZING jim dale is as a narrator and voice actor. already acknowledging rowling's series as a masterpiece, i wonder how much deeper i was able to delve into the story this time around because dale's mastery of his own craft helped get me there. his positive effect on this tale cannot be overstated. *** APRIL 26, 2007 *** FIRST REVIEW *** FIRST READ JULY 2005 *** The narrative tone continued to mature with Harry, as did Dumbledore's expectation of his protege, providing a fresh, suspenseful continuation of the beloved Harry Potter series. By the sixth book, Rowling has largely abandoned independent plot and is clearly intent on creating continuity and dramatic build-up for book seven's conclusion. Unfortunately, her foundation for the resolution feels rushed at times. While Rowling claims that she knew the saga's outcome in great detail from the beginning, such a glut of information -- and the sudden introduction of the critical horcruxes -- feels like she's playing catch-up because, as she put it so many times in pre–book seven interviews, she didn't want readers to feel like book-seven resolutions were pulled out of thin air or were "cheats." While no one could have predicted the massive success of this series, I am left wishing Rowling's editing were stronger and specifically that she had hinted at major story elements earlier to elevate the story continuity to the level of the brilliant Potter'verse concept. That said, the horcruxes were an inspired and cohesive addition to (and explanation of) Voldemort's tale, and revelation of his history showed off Rowling at her best -- the creator of a flawed, explicable, coherent villain. Yet I confess that the first time I read this I found Dumbledore so altered in tone that for many months I insisted that he was under an Imperius Curse or was some villain drinking Polyjuice Potion. One could argue, in light of information from book seven, that Dumbledore was legitimately a changed man, but it came off as incoherent characterization to me.

I'm now on ch. 9 of 10 (Goodreads never seems to get page numbers right- am I missing something)? I will finish the book, but I have chosen to review now, as I don't anticipate having anything more significant to say after finishing, given Dawkins' style throughout the book and the titles of the last two chapters. I am quite disappointed with this book. It is not at all any kind of scholarly work (and I didn't expect it to be). This is a problem because he is trying to take a particular philosophical stance, but fails to back it up legitimately. Dawkins displays just plain bad logic and many orders of appeal to emotion. He is extremely dogmatic. He (vainly) attempts refutations of some weak and/or incomplete arguments for the existence of god, and offers only one (very unsound) negative argument against the existence of God. He makes no attempt at a positive argument for the non-existence of god. Very boring first four chapters. What I have found intriguing are his critiques of religion in general, arguing that it is much more a force for evil than for good. There are a good deal more incomplete and/or fallacious arguments here too. But there are some intriguing ideas which I am certainly interested in exploring more. What I find especially bothersome is that many times throughout the book, Dawkins is extremely dogmatic in his propagation of atheism and science, alluding to certainty in many of the philosophical claims he makes... ...fairly tantamount to, and ironically reminiscent of, religious fundamentalism. Hmmm....
