I would definatley line up at midnight to get it, and I think it needs more hype. I might just charge round to the book shop soon and leave weird coded messages around warning readers of book the 12th-or in my mind, anyway.

Maybe we could all do a little to give it more hype.

As a hype. Or maybe not......

On the day the movie came out I was on holiday in New Zealand....I went to the movies an hour early to get a good spot in what I thought would be a huge que...it turned out I was first in line, and whats more only 4! other people apart from myself and my sister turned up to watch the movie on its opening day !!! *gasp...and whenever a new book is released I go to dymocks on the day puchase my book with no que whatsoever...I would like to stay up over night at the book store waiting for the book but it would look really silly as i'd be the only one....but thn again purhaps the movie may have had some influence on its popularity

Although, I don 't know if they are in bookstores or not, as it is a rare occassion that I go into a bookstore. I do agree that they don't get enough hype, and deserve more.

They certainly aren't where I live. If I went to buy Book the Twelfth at the local bookstore, it is likely they wouldn't even have it on it's own display like they did with Half-Blood Prince. >:(

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. - C.S. Lewis

I like reading novels better when they aren't so mainstream. I would absolutely be in love with Harry Potter if everybody else wasn't. I remember reading the first book about seven years ago one December before anybody had even heard of it. Then came the merchandising...

"Hello, Darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk to you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
And the vision that was planted in my brain,
Still remains,
Within the Sound of Silence..."
-Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel

Can't you just release a book and not over-hype it? Because the next book already is over-hyped: by TNN.com. It makes you count down the days, etc. etc.

It's fun to be confused about the book's title and stuff.
