This is one of the better harry gets rescued stories that i have read in a long time. Its told from Mr. Lovegood's POV and if you thought he was weird before this just proves it.

I give it a 4/5

 

It was decent I suppose, at least as a once shot. I can't really be to much of a critic of the fic I guess.

I tend to like my Harry Potter fics, to actually have Harry Potter in them as a main character. Nothing wrong with it not being this way at all, it's just something I prefer.

So in essence, other than Harry not being involved hardly at all, it was decent.

 

frankly reading the dialog made me close the story in disgust.
it can be fun reading a short fic written in a strange way to show luna or someone else, but this was simply too "messed up" to be a good read.

 

The fic is bizarre and nearly unreadable because of the way the author chose to tell the story. There are constant lists, inconsequential tangents, and impenetrable dialogue. Given that this was written from Mr. Lovegood's POV, a huge opportunity for comedy was missed.

It just didn't make any sense. 2/5

 

Well this story was odd, and not in the good sense really. The lists could of easily been summed up in a few sentences, and were really pointless. I can understand the author was trying to be original with the way the author was going about it, but the originality in this case did not help the story.

This is definitely not Library worthy, and if it were improved then probably Recycle Bin worthy. However, until then, I give the story a 2/5.

 

having read the first two mini-stories from RB, I think that it not only makes perfect sense, but is also quite a good finish on an open ended fragment.

4.5/5

 

It's a somewhat interesting universe, if one reads Rorschach's Blot's snippets first and the sequel afterword to fill in the blanks. Otherwise I imagine the story looks like a gigantic cluster-fuck.

That being said, the unconventional narration, awkward shifts between PUVs, excessive clichés and the problems detailed above don't help this story in the slightest.

But the mechanics are rather solid, and I could read through the whole thing without forcing myself to pay attention.

I'm giving this 3/5, mostly due to Guilty Pleasure factor and AU Fanboyism. I'm honestly surprised that this thread wasn't deleted long before I wrote this post though.
