The Deathly Hallows

Yup. I finally finished reading it. Can I just quote the Doctor here (from season three’s episode The Shakespeare Code)? “I cried.”
What’s more, I cried in public: sitting in the commuter rail station last night, waiting for my boarding call.
But the series did have a pretty satisfying ending. Very sad in some ways, very happy in others. Revelations were revealed and questions were answered. I don’t know if I’ll ever really forgive JKR for killing [SPOILER] but, really, I knew going in that there had to be at least one heart-rending fatality, so it’s a good kind of non-forgiveness.
I couldn’t have read that book in public. Too risky.
Crying over DH in public wasn’t half as embarrassing as the helpless giggles I get reading almost any Terry Pratchett novel.
Oh hell yeah. He gets the tears flowing too, as I’m struggling for breath trying to stop laughing. Have you read the latest Tiffany Aching?
I haven’t. I’m way, way behind on Pterry’s stuff. Been reading a lot of urban fantasy lately and just started one of Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpe novels for a change of pace.
