Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the eighth installment in the Harry Potter saga that hit book stores worldwide over the weekend, already has dedicated fans spending sleepless nights reading it.
However, 10-year-old boy Toby L?Estrange rushed past everyone else and finished the story in just 59 minutes, after Amazon challenged him to post the first review of the book.
Toby, who had the latest book delivered to his Amazon Kindle by pre-order, scored it a six out of 10. It ?was a really good story? although ?the way the story is told everything?s quite jumbled with different realities so it?s quite hard to keep track of which reality you?re in,? he wrote.
?Firstly it?s the script for a play, so it?s quite different from reading a novel. The whole story is told through what the characters say to each other ? plus some stage directions. But once you get over that, you read it just the same as the others ? except the play is in two parts, so the book is too,? Toby wrote in his review.
?It?s a really good story. It?s a very complicated story. It happens in different times, so it?s really helpful if you know all the other books and characters quite well (I do ? and so does any other true Harry Potter fan). When I first started it was really difficult to know what was happening because everything was mixed up, but then it all got quite exciting ? and a bit (a bit!) clearer,? he wrote, concluding with the words: ?If you want to know any more, you?ll have to read it yourself. But that?s the whole point. And I think you?re going to love it.?
Several stores worldwide held midnight parties to celebrate the launch of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, as frenzied fans lined up outside the stores to get their hands on the latest book.
Author J.K. Rowling has hinted that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be the last book in the Harry Potter series.
