COLLECT | MODERN LIBRARY CLASSICS: SHAKESPEARE

In the near future I want to read at least one Shakespeare, and I stumbled across these editions today and fell absolutely in love with them. I decided that I want to collect these once I start to read Shakespeare. These are the Modern Library Classic editions.

BOOK REVIEW | HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD BY J.K. ROWLING, JACK THORNE AND JOHN TIFANNY

"It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places."

I went in to this book without any expectations. I didn't want to see this as the eight book in the Harry Potter series, and also not as a book written by J.K. Rowling but a story written by Jack Thorne based on a new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany. That's what I did, and I really enjoyed the reading experience. 

It was absolutely amazing, to meet the new characters J.K. Rowling had to offer and although it was quite the cliche, and something that probably a lot of fans could have come up with, the story was great. I really liked the elements that came back and I would love to see the play one day!

I can definitely see and understand why people either love it or hate it, but if you are still in doubt whether to read it or not, I would highly recommend to give it a chance.
