To start with I want to bring attention to the survey I have posted to your left! To my few, but awesome readers I would ask that you pick a book and give me a push in one direction or the other of what to read when I finish the HP series. So I have FINALLY finished the LONGEST Harry Potter book. I'm sad to say it was somewhat of a chore to get through entire book. In all fairness I was sick for three days and didn't feel much like reading, so maybe I lost my groove and it ruined the story for me. Now saying that and being a glass half empty kind of person I am going with it was so-so. There were definately good parts in the book but I feel there was way more filler than neccessary. With the combination of the new defense teacher and the ministry being huge tools we didn't need 300 pages telling us how huge of a rusted hammer (cheesy, but eh) these people were. I am hoping all this information may become useful in the books to come otherwise kind of a waste. I think the biggest problem I had with this book was that Harry was kind of me..me..me.. to everyone whether he deserved it or not. Of course he is a 15 year old so I guess that is typical just midly annoying. The book started getting better towards the end when the action and information became available. Now, this is where the books start getting very dark and twisty. In the early books they always ended with a happy care free feeling, that ends in this book, now Harry enters the world of a powerful Voldermort and a less than sure future.
Good for PG kids and up
