Tales of Beedle the Bard

The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling

My review

rating: 1 of 5 stars
What a complete rip-off. Can be read in about 20 minutes.
My 4th grader writes better and meatier stories than this.
Shameless exploitation, even if some money goes to a non-profit. JKR has enough to give without selling out like this.

Side Effects

Frankly if I were to give a one line review, I would say "Don't waste your time."

Most of the stories in this collection of short stories have one or two laugh-out-loud moments.
Some of the stories are even OK ( The Kugelmass Episode ), just OK.
But a good number of them are just meaningless and incohesive drivel.

You can definitely find many other books much more worthy of your time.
