Just Finished Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

Pretty good. Liked it much more than the previous one.

Rowling doesn't like Bush, does she?

Note: I don't mean to imply that the book is nothing more than a veiled attack on Bush or that this is the only interpretation. It may in fact be more of a comment on Blair. In any case, years ago Rowling said that she detested cowards and racists; that took care of a good 3/4 of the Bush administration. In this particular book she makes a pretty strong statement against illegal detentions on the part of governments. That pretty much indicted the remaining 1/4 of the Bush administration to me. That plot device definitely felt like an add on to me.
