A short review of the audiobook

Ah, Harry Potter. Instead of going into much detail on the book itself (except to say that it's a surprisingly difficult read; past familiarity with the story should help tremendously, though), I'll mention here that I listened to the audiobook while reading along. The audiobook was narrated by 風間杜夫 (Kazama Morio), who did a wonderful job, I thought: his voice is clear and easy to follow, which helps given that the audiobook and the Kindle version do not line up 100%.
