- I could barely get through them once. Talk about redefining *boring*.
Heh. I've heard that too. Then there are people who think they're basically good, but not all that. Then there are the fans who are all like: "OMG, haven't you read them??!!"
I will have to read them one of these days, just to form my own opinion. I loved Peter Jackson's movies so I'm assuming I won't hate the books.;-)
Draco is Cordelia! It's my new mantra. *giggles*
Actually, I was thinking about Cordelia when I marveled over how ridiculously I thought the redemption-word can be used sometimes. If Draco needs "redemption", the way he is now, then "redemption" was what Cordy went through, when she suddenly became a nicer person. Truth be told, I see more similarities between Cordy and Draco, then Spike and Draco. They're both snobs, they both want to mingle only with "the right people", and they're not concerned with the feelings of people they deem "unworthy", they're selfish, sarcastic, mocking people they don't like, but are ultimately harmless. The difference I can see is that Draco comes off as more vulnerable (and am comparing him to "old-days-Cordy" here), and will probably not stay harmless in all the books...
