Praise for Harry Potter and the Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius

“Heartbreaking... Staggering... Magical!”
Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

“I am scared to fly and find it hard to read on planes, but coming back from Washington I was in the part about Buckbeak and the secret chamber under H.S.O.W.A.W.    and it being Halloween and I didn’t even notice we’d landed till everybody started getting up. I shit you not. It is terribly, terribly moving, especially the part about the magic flying car.”
-David Foster Wallace
