J.K.Rowling - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Posted by Valielen at 15:43

Finally I got to read the final book of the Harry Potter series. I had decided a while ago that I was not going to be putting extra money into publishers pockets and get the hard back version. Mostly it was because all my collection is paperback and I decided to be stubborn and wait.

The torture was only a couple of months long as everyone else read theirs fairly quick. After that I had nearly forgotten it until I got the newsletter from Waterstones announcing it.

As you can tell, I am just filling post space because there isn't a lot to say about this book apart from... Wow! It was great!
Very dark... not sure how it can get away with being a children's book. It was a very fulfilling finale and I can safely say: "Aha! I knew it about Snape!". Despite a few correct guesses, the way it was delivered filled my imagination and made me a very bad employee as I slept late every night and was antisocial spending every lunch hour reading.

Now I just wonder, what else will J.K.Rowling have to offer in the future...

    from day 1 ,i've been following your "reading adventures", and i can say now, that you both are a reference to me. i like your style, and i thank you for let me know some authors i didn't knew. I've mentioned your blog in one of my posts, hope you don't mind. Have any of you, by any chance gone trough "non-fiction" by Chuck Palahniuk? would love to know your comments on that one. on other hand, will you only talk about the books you love? no "hate list"? :) keep up!

    Olá Ranhoso!
    I haven't read anything by Chuck Palahniuk yet but I'm hoping you can help me rectify that at some point :)
    Thanks for mentioning us in your blog!

    I haven't really got a hate list just because hate is a very strong word and I find that there is always something to like even if the overall result is rubbish.

    C,
    I may well pre-order that book. But then again I have something against the more expensive hardbacks. I have yet to read the second book you gave me for my Birthday so I may just wait.
