Harry Potter and The Ugly Price War

Ok, i got the title from Saturday's The Star.

Just to express how frustrating and angry i was the day the book was release.
People around the world got the book simultaneously at the same time,
while the stupid store only open at....11 am because of the stupid
price war between the bookstore chains and hypermarkets.

I mean, come on,
that's like so childish and immature,
the pricing for the book here in Malaysia (RM109.90)
is the second most expensive after Australia!
Even US sells the book for less than RM50!
They're so lucky people still queuing up to collect their books at all.

It's bad enough they canceled the launching activities,
but they even go to an extend of refusing to open the store for us to collect the book on time!!
I, was one of those few who was waiting anxiously outside the store from 6.30am!!
And no one told us what the heck happened!!!

But all in all,
i still got my book (Thank The Great Lord!!)
And it was real good.
Action packed to say the least,
and was a gazillion times better than the snooze fest
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
I give the latest one 8.5 stars out of 10.

Great job Joanne Kathleen Rowling!

And yes, i'm one of a handful of crazy fans in Malaysia
who splurged a jaw dropping RM235.00 for the special limited edition of the book.
And it was worth every cent as the binding is way better than the standard version.
