We’re now up to chapter 5 and I think it’s safe to say the boy and the lass are hooked. Without any prodding on my or the Wife’s part, both have made sure I continue to read the story to them. Last night, they insisted I read 2 chapters.
Obviously, we’re delighted. I was concerned that we wouldn’t make it past chapter 2. Heck, I even thought there was chance they’d phone-it-in during chapter 1. Who cares about the Dursely’s anyway? We’re at the point in the story now where things only get more interesting.
Their doing a pretty good job of following along as well. They don’t remember all the names yet, but their recollection of the events is pretty good. Although I was forced to admit that I’d taken the review a little too far last night. The boy asked at one point “Dad, when are you going to start reading the story?”
I’ll keep that in mind for tonight.
