wow. that left me al lmixed and disillusioned about how i enjoyed the books adn hwo i jsut read the mwithotu looking deeper .adn i remember all those other times on mailing lists where everyone analyzed things and allI could do was yammer to myself about what a shallow reader I was. adn then i left lists and stopped writing fic because thinking stufff through mostly turned up plot holes and unanswered questions and i was scared of the whole likability of the books falling apart. and after that i felt like i was sticking my head in the sand and ignoring too much.egh. well. mostly i always thought there wree many holes and odd things because ofr the first few books she wrote or had to write one each year? and the kind of plot she was playing with alwaysseemd to me like you'd never in your life squeeze that in either one book or in a year's time of writing the book. and part of me hoped she had bigger manuscripts but had to scrap stuff by advice of her editor (which if i were in her shoes i'd say no siree to anyway) whic reminds me, i need to read the actual uk versions now. ever since i found out here that the us editors liked to cut segments out (oh there is so much wrong inthat feeld also. including the marketing-this-to-kids-only) so i was glad that she took three years to tackle ootp..and then came the biggest group of psychiatry cases i'd ever seen in one chapter...meep!
