Its a much better way to get behind the true nature of the characters. It can be a little 'accademic' though it's by far the most authoritive work on the whole LOR saga. Plus it's a lot shorter.
Ummm... "academic"? "authoritative"? say what????

Iorek: I agree with P.B. -- that's a very good point, and most likely has a fair amount to do with the falling-off of well-constructed, densely-textured prose (overall) as well....
