Wow!
I've been in hiding the last few weeks. You see, I decided to re-read the entire Harry Potter series before reading the last book. I absolutely did not want anything spoiled, so I'd plug my ears when I even heard the barest mention of the books, I avoided the big areas in WoW where someone might flash a spoiler across my screen and basically I just plain hid from the general populace.
But I finished it last night and all I have to say is wow. I won't say anything else, as I don't want to spoil it for anyone, like me, that didn't read it the second it was released. But I really just had to say wow, what a great book!
I agree, it was quite excellent. I had a hard time putting it down in the last 200 pages!
It was a really great finish to a fun series.
I decided the same thing, but lost my resolve just last night in the middle of book three when Tad finished the deathly hallows and handed it over to me... I'm on chapter 3 or 4 and thinking maybe I do need to go back and finish the others again, there is so much I don't remember and I want to fully enjoy this!!
I've been thinking of doing the same thing, but I can't seem to put my knitting down.
