...these small, melancholy works are exquisite records of contemporary riverbanks and parks where men and women, in the constricting clothes of the day, stroll, picnic or fish. Rousseau omits no unromantic detail: railway bridges, factories, chimneys, piers. In the stormy View of Malakoff (1908), telegraph poles and cables arch over houses, trees and passersby. Sometimes the sky is a background for hot-air balloons, biplanes, the Eiffel Tower, even zeppelins, as in Ivry Quay (circa 1907). Rousseau's people were not always successful.

...pages, more than the length of the first two books combined. It was a challenge for kids not just to read the book but to lift it. (Isometric exercises for fifth graders?) Rowling took the first 100 pages to describe just two main scenes: a fleeting glimpse of arch-villain Voldemort and his abettors, and the Quidditch World Cup, disrupted by V?s shrouded hooligans...
