Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne

Wow, just wow!  I will start this off by saying I wasn't sure if I wanted to read this.  I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan and wasn't exactly sure how I felt about continuing on with the next generation.  My family couldn't believe I didn't pick it up the day it came out or read it in a couple of hours.
I decided to pick it up at a shopping trip to Target and when I got home sat in my comfy chair and opened it.  That was all it took.  I was transported back to the wizarding world in one swoop.
While not a fan of the play format it did not distract me in the least.  I loved every second of the story.  I felt Harry's pain as he struggled with parenting, something I can totally relate to.  I loved watching the progeny be the same and yet very different from their parents.  I loved the inside jokes and the ribbing.  I am so glad I read it,  I while I didn't devour it in an hour, it only took a day.  I highly recommend it.
