Opinionated, polarizing, challenging. Unfortunate that the people who could benefit most by reading this book are the people least likely to read it.
I. Loved. This. Book.

“A lot of people train to have their best day ever,” he said. “In ultra running, you learn to train for your worst. I’m looking to get to the most painful spot I can.”
Walmsley beat me by nearly 9 hours at Western States last summer. I didn’t have a terrible race.

I first read this three years ago, out loud, to my son, a dyslexic 2nd grader. Now that he’s closer to Harry Potter’s age we reread it together. In some ways it was more enjoyable this time (he frequently pointed out differences between the book and the movie). In other ways the book made me more sad before (did I just completely forget all the ways the Dursleys tortured a child?). It’s also interesting to ponder how much and how little Rowling had planned out the entire series at this point. Good book. Good read.
