Heh. No, my reaction to OOTP was more similar to jpub's to JBern's. That type of story just pisses me off and I stop reading. There's -always- (imo) ways to respond other than stewing in one's anger/depression and stories that choose to indulge in that disappoint me. It's why I prefer Moon's stories to JKR's -- i.e., Trading in Danger and its sequels to OOTP and its sequels.
