Having been immersed for the past few months with war either by way of the Trojan Wars in Homer or World War II in Three Day Road I’ve decided to try out lighter fair.
Arthur Slade’s Ghost Hotel is a book for young adults set in Saskatoon, Sask. with young sleuths not yet in their teens and a venerable hotel taken over by a ghostly child. Maybe not everyone’s light reading, but not to be taken seriously either. I’ve just finished it.
For all it’s weaknesses I just can’t resist Harry. As I’ve said before, as with Conan Doyle, J.K. Rowling will not be able to escape her hero unless she kills him off; therefore it will not surprise me if that’s the wizard’s ultimate end. Do you really see this series stretching on for decades with Harry becoming a Hogwart’s Professor and ultimately Headmaster?
