I loved this. I had wanted to read it for a while, and when I finally did, I blew through it in a day.

If you are familar with the Harry Potter universe then this is a brilliant book. Fascinating in site into the world of the boy-who-lived equally it is a funny book as J.K. has added amusing anecdotes by Harry, Ron and Hermione. J.K. Rowling gives some additional information to creatures we have already met e.g. Hippogriffs, Centaurs and Crups as well as new creatures like the Chizpurfle, the Erkling and the Quintaped.

I adore this book. There is a very good reason why this is the best-selling book in the Religion and Philosophy room of Powells Books in Portland (the world's largest independent bookstore); it is the most accessible, human, funny, and compelling "religious book" I've ever read (and I've read many). It is much less like a personal spirituality manual than it is a book of quirky essays by someone who happens to be deeply spiritual and learned, through the ups and downs of his life, how his faith was as much a part of his everyday life as breathing and sleeping. I also love this book because it was written in Portland, and the house where the author lived turns out to be right across the street from my church. (By the big gold Joan of Arc statue, if you're a Portlander.) And he dedicated the book to all the coffeeshops and bars in Portland where he wrote it, which I thought was really cool.
