Going into this book, I was on the side that Snape is innocent. Coming out of the book, I'm still on that side (though wavering). Perhaps it was my original bias, but the case seemed much stronger on the innocence side of the book (even though certain items were repeated again and again). The guilty side seemed a bit light and even toward the end, the authors wrote just about Slytherin and not about Snape at all.

I'll read anything by Orson Scott Card! This is a very interesting "unauthorized" view of both sides of the Snape debate. Of course, we have all the information now that the series is completed, but it is still an engaging exercise.

This is a great book but the only problem was that it was written before the Deathly Hallows came out so if you read the DH, then you know all the secrets. I still love the book.
