I really wish that Goodreads would implement a half scoring, because this book is EXACTLY a 3.5-stars book. I'm not sure whether I'll give it a 4 or a 3, we'll see how I feel after writing this review. 
 First of all, this book is not as bad as people make it out to be. Personally I think those people were expecting things that really -, shouldn't be expected in the first place. 
 Was I taken aback, though? Yes, I very much was. It didn't matter how much different I knew this book was going to be to Harry Potter, I was still surprised at the complete and utter difference between the two, and how vulgar and adult the dialogue was. 
 Well, this is not a bad thing. 
 After recovering from the initial shock, I started to re-familiarize myself with Rowling's style of writing (it's the same, just tackling a different genre and plot, but still the same) and you know, I found that I enjoyed it. 
 Sure, the plot is not A+. And I thought many times, what's the point, what's the point, what's the point. But it kept me going, I wanted to know what would happen next, how it would end, how those immensely different characters would react after certain discoveries and revelations. 
 So it was alright. I didn't love it. But I didn't hate it. And with that thought in mind, I've decided to give it a 3-star rating.
