Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
I just finished reading the last of J.K. Rowling's novels, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I read the book during the summer, but I felt I went too fast to actually enjoy all of it. There are several things about this book I find interesting. First, after reading the whole series in a row, I realized how much better of a writer Rowling was when she finished book number seven. Even though she was amazing to begin with, the last book is a level about the rest. It was so interesting to see the progress she has made. Another awesome thing about The Deathly Hallows is the way it ties up every loose end in the story. Even when you think you understand, you turn the page and find out you were wrong, but that it is explained in such a way that everything now makes sense. I also think this book is much more depressing than the others. Rowling's tone changes to fit Harry's maturity level and the circumstances. It is much more serious and dark than the others, but still amazingly colorful when it comes to descriptions of the everyday happenings in Harry's life. After finishing all the books, I cried harder than I ever have at the end of a movie. Each book that came out has been my favorite until the next came out, and the last was no different. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is my favorite book, and I guess it will be until J.K. Rowling reveals her next masterpiece. I can't wait!
