I've finished the book. This entry needs no cuts, because I'm not ready to talk about the contents yet, but my initial reaction to it?

Before today, my favorite book of all time had been The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub. I have read A LOT of books in my 33 years, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is absolutely, ( Read more... )
