The above was to do with your considerations about Alexandra Quick, Dumbledore, foreshadowing, and allied matters. As for good manners in reviewiing - when I was comics reviewing, there was a single writer, Alan Grant, for whom I made up my mind that I would never write a negative review. If he wrote a turkey, I would pass it over in silence and let someone else give him the bad news - comics fandom usually had volunteers enough. But that was because Mr. Grant had been greatly and unnecessarily kind to me, had in fact acted like a complete gentleman, for no reason other than - I suppose - that he is one; and that was my way of saying thanks. I could not imagine doing it for any other reason.
