Book Six
If you've been sleeping under a rock, book six of the Harry Potter series is out.
I finished it this afternoon, thanks to my niece, who had her 6th birthday party today. Katy and the kids went, leaving me at home alone to read.
My reaction? It's better than book five - none of the overdone teen angst in this one. A great mix of story lines. Ms. Rowling has outdone herself.
Wow. Just wow. What a finish. Unbelieveable.
In related news, there was a 12:01 release party for the book in my neighborhood. At Ralphs. Which is not a book store, but a grocery store! Ogh, and they were selling it for the same price I paid Amazon. I think that officially makes Harry Potter a Phenomenon.

Brad,
I am glad someone else I know has finished the book too. I also finished the book Sunday. I went to Barnes & Noble to pick it up 12:01am Sat am and it was so crowded it was impossible to find the end of the line. So I headed over to the Super WalMart to pick it up. The line went from the front of the store to the back. It was a crazy scene, with all kinds of people there. But particularly some the late night Walmart staff looked like they were characters out of the HP books. No, they were not dressed up, but real life people that looked like they walked out of the novel.
I concur with your review. The book was bloody brilliant. And the finish was unbelievable. As I set the book down all I could say was "wow!" I can't decide if this one or book 4 is my favorite, but I am leaning toward this one.
