J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
I tried to pull an all-nighter to finish it, but I crashed and burned a little after 3 (I got up at 4:30 yesterday, after all). It was a delight to sit outside and eat blueberry pancakes and finish it this morning . . . I thought it started off slow but it got SO GOOD like halfway through. Obviously I won't say anything else yet, but I'm ready to discuss it if you are! The safeword for those who have finished is PHOENIX. A+.

I just finished! Wow, I really enjoyed it. Is it safe to post a spoilery comment here? I won't in case it's not.
SPOILERS WILL APPEAR IN THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS!!
OK, now it's safe. Go ahead!
stray thought 1: It occurred to me that the chapter where Harry becomes obsessed with the Deathly Hallows might be, in part, Rowling having some fun with her more "devoted" fans.
Don't you see?!? It all fits!!!
Neville Longbottom is my hero!
One of the best lines of commentary I've seen so far (from a thread over on Making Light):
"Hooray Neville! Beaten, tortured, driven underground, and he still stands strong, and kills Nagini while his head is on fire."
I was also totally psyched for Neville getting to step up! Honestly, if everything else had sucked, that would have been enough for me. But I was glad the rest was good too. :)
I was as proud of Neville as his Gran was! The moment harry stopped and told him about the snake, I knew it would be Neville, and I knew it would be heroic.
Georg: yes, it does fit! That's fuuny!
