Harry Potter - NO SPOILERS

If you haven’t read the last Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Endless Buildup Deathly Hallows you need to get going. I’m dying to write about it but I don’t want to write anything that might give it away for those of you that aren’t obsessive-compulsive about reading this series as soon as it comes out. Truthfully we were dying to read it, but didn’t want to break down and pay $25.00 for a book right now, since Jorma’s not working. So when I scored a copy from Dad, who pre-ordered for Jeffery, who was out of town and certainly wouldn’t mind if we borrowed it and returned it to him in mint condition, I was thrilled.

Jorma read it first in a day and a half and then passed it off to me and I was able to devour it in two days. I think it’s well written and JK Rowling didn’t go off the deep end with the book like I expected her too. You know, sort of the same way that some musicians’ do… Like Aerosmiths’s seventh album. But she didn’t. She held it together and produced a well written, plotted and at times even humorous novel. Bravo.

And if you haven’t started reading it yet, you should, it’s worthy and if you’ve never read the first one, I highly recommend that too. I’ll wait to discuss for those of you that haven’t started yet. You have one month.

Ok... thank you for waiting more than a month. Larry's finshed them all (he reread them all after the 7th book came out -- we scored it the night it was released!). I'm just starting the 6th one, but we'll all definitely dish as soon as I'm done -- hopefully by our next get together!
