Wow! This is an awesome book - I think my favorite of the whole series. This book is so intense almost all the way through. I think there was only one paragraph where it kind of slowed down but was essential to the story none-the-less.

Wow - again. John and I were at Barnes and Noble Friday night for the release and went home right away to get reading. Unfortunately, because we woke up early for work that day - we couldn’t stay up all night. I didn’t go to sleep until 5:30 or so. The next day was filled with reading, eating, and reading some more. It was fun to stop after every chapter and discuss what happened and what we though was going to happen. Or to look at each other in amazement or sadness, or just to revel at how wonderful Jo (J.K. Rowling) had written that chapter. This is seriously the best book (best series) that I have ever read. (and yes, I’ve read other things before lol)

We finally finished on Saturday night. I kind of feel sad like I anticipated. Not from what happens in the book but just because this was the end. No more Harry Potter books, no more continuations, no more theories (well, maybe just a little). At least I can still look forward to the movies. The next (and last) two are going to be awesome for sure!
