Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Look forward to hearing your comments - I finished my copy last night. Am just about to post a few comments in my blog if you're interested.

I thought those books were for kids?
Didn't think a blog post could get so boring- but a new standard has just been reached.
Don't read it then.
For children? With themes of coming to terms with the deaths of loved ones and facing your own destiny? Can't say it seems all that childish to me.
M has 80 pages left so will post my review as soon as possible.
The publishers may have aimed the books originally at children and the central cast list may be composed of children (if teens can be classified as children) but the over arching themes of death and, as you say Echo, destiny, transcend the genre.
I'm arguing from a position of sheer ignorance as I've never read Harry Potter. But I don't like the fantasy genre. I read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings when I was 13 and that was enough for me.
I loved it! I spent most of Thursday and Friday reading it - bought it in the US but wanted to save the majority of it for a time when I could read uninterrupted.
End of an era. Sad it's over...
Any idea what's happenning with marmaladya.com? Are you still writing for them? I used to check the site regularly but the articles, diary, etc don't seem to have been updated for a while now and I'm wondering whether they are ceasing trading?
It had a review in the Times Literary Supplement this week.
