Slog - Comments on Three Reviews http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/three_reviews A woman is standing at a busy intersection--where Denny crosses over the freeway--reading the new Harry Potter book. I did not ask if I could take this photo, because she was so far away and there were cars streaking between us. As we crossed in the intersection, I said, "How's the book?" and she said, quickly, "It's good." The next day, I'm walking by Rite Aid and I see this guy, evidently without a home, on the ground reading the new Harry Potter book. I ask if I can take his photo and he says, "If you want." I ask...

But I just finished it yesterday. It was good.

In line in front of me was a family of four: Mom, Dad, and two sons, both in little suits, both reading Harry Potter.

They said, "Yeah, we were gonna fight, so Mom got two."
"How is it?"
"It's good."

Obviously you think highly of Christopher; would you think less of him if he was not "above" this phenomenon? The Harry Potter books are pretty much the most popular books ever, so you're bound to come across lots of smart, well-read people who enjoy them as well. So what?

Does the third person hate Harry that much?

Why aren't they reading the book?

It tells you absolutely nothing useful, other than 'the item in question isn't annoying or boring me'.

People might as well grunt at you in lieu of that response.
