This Boston Globe article focuses on speculation about whether children will plow through the estimated 1,000 pages of the forthcoming book. Since it is coming out at the end of the school year, kids will have the entire summer to read it uninterrupted, making it more likely in some cases… But the real question is whether the book needs to be that long, or if Rowling has lost control of parsimony in her ‘creative’ process. We’ll surely see whether it can sustain itself that long or collapse under the weight of its own verbosity. (And what does this steady upward trend in pleonasm foreshadow for the coming volumes of the series, if she ever gets around to any more?)
