Goblet of Fire
Feb. 17th, 2004 04:37 pmI'm listening to Jim Dale's rendition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire again for the first time in a long, long time. I'd forgotten how creepy and well-written the first chapter really is.
So, is it just me, or does Order of the Phoenix pale in comparison? This one seems to be written so much more tightly. Curious if others of you agree, because I'm still not convinced that OotP is really the well-crafted and well-written masterpiece that Stephen King declared it to be (aside from the overabundance of adverbs). And not because of what happens... but because of the way it's written.
