 2008-11-06 - Angieville: HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS
What a read. I was all prepared for a Harry Shaped Hole after reading this book, the sense of loss/utter despair I would feel upon finishing the last Harry Potter. But the thing is....it was so much better than I thought it would be. That makes it sound like I didn't trust J.K. Rowling to get the job done, and that simply isn't true. I trusted her implicitly. I gave her ten years of my life. I'll give her next series ten more. But to end it all to my satisfaction? Knowing how many deaths were imminent? Knowing how it was becoming harder and harder to see a way for Harry to defeat Voldemort without dying himself? I couldn't see how she'd do it. But she did. And it was unbelievable how much fun it was.
I'll never forget sitting in the line at my local Barnes & Noble at a quarter to midnight as a strange green firework shoots across the sky above us and worms its way into the shape of the dark mark. The hushed, startled silence of the crowd and then the wild, exultant cheers we erupt into at the sheer magic of it all. I'll never forget turning to the dedication page to find out she'd dedicated the last one to us. "And to You, if you have stuck with Harry until the very end." To me, it was a profoundly touching moment between an author and her readers. It was the most amazingly satisfying reading experience I can imagine. More than I'd hoped for. And in the end, after seven years, just exactly what our boy deserved.
2008-11-03 - Incredible ending to the story of 'the boy who lived'.
After resisting reading the books for years, i finally gave in. i was immediately hooked. the voice characterizations are wonderful and familiar across the entire series. this final audio production did the story justice. it is a wonderful and redemptive story, and it was a joy to walk with Harry from the beginning through to the very last word.
2008-11-02 - Great conclusion for a great septology
Ah I got this right after it came out (yet now I review it!)
This is no doubt a great series with great characters. I definitely enjoyed it. I stayed up till 7 am reading the last parts of it (notice I say last parts, I'm a slow reader). I read all the previous ones at libraries but decided to buy the other 6 since I've been into them since grade school. I'll probably want to read'm again.
2008-10-23 - Keeps getting better!!
I was very happy with the way this book turned out... Oh-so-sad to know this is it (at least for a while if we're really lucky), but each book has gotten better and better and better. This really tops the series off! And the readablity can't be beat!! Every time I read it, it's like the first time and I find more things to love about it!!!
2008-10-18 - Better than Prince, doesn't live up to the fear in Order
Order of the Phoenix was the best, and Deathly Hallows is the 2nd best. There's fear but not the same fear experienced when reading Order. Also Voldemort's really only a threat to Europe, but not to any other continent which is kind of annoying.
