Advertising, ad campaigns, ad agencies, and the people that make it happen

I love to read the reviews on Amazon, particularly for my book, "MadScam," 'cos they are all 5 star (he said modestly) But the reviews for the latest Harry Potter book, "Deathly Hallows" are the funniest I've read in years. Because they say absolutely nothing about the plot, and certainly nothing about how the bookends up, as no one wants to be accused of giving away whether or not Harry dies, Hermione gets pregnant, Ron turns into a giant rat, Lord Voldemort is actually Dick Cheney or whatever. There's a classic one from someone in Eastern Europe who goes on and on about how there's a battle between good and evil,,, Baddies turn out to be good... Goodies turn out to be bad... Some people die, some live... People who have disappeared, reappear... In other words, it's all the same old stuff we've seen in the previous books. But isn't that what the fanatics stood in line all night for? At least that's the end of the series, so J. K. Rowling can now buy France, Spain and Italy with the loose change at the back of her sofa. But, there are still three movies to go, and at the rate the Dollar is going down the tube against the Pound, by the time they are in the can, she can then buy most of America!
