my moment of anger

[crow11381]

Amazon.co.uk just sent me my version of HP-book 6... children's edition. What the fuck? I ordered the adult's 6 months ago! I reordered it and have labeled the 600 page child's ed version for return. Can amazon get anything correct? it makes me fear for my copy of Constantine.

I didn't realize there was a different edition for children versus adults. What's the difference?

they dumb it down a bit for the kids. What the US gets is the children's addition I believe.

Hmmm...makes me curious to see what the adult version is like. If what I have is the kids version, it could still use some cleaning up ;)

According to several internet sources, it appears the only difference is in the cover art. It's a marketing technique to attract adult readers. That said, I like my book series to match, so I don't blame you for wanting the correct version.

It is true they modify the text some for US audiences...they change some of the slang.
